University of Georgia’s mascot dies at age 4

Uga VII, the University of Georgia mascot whose deeply furrowed face was a fixture at the school for more than a year, died early Thursday, the university said. He was 4 years old.

The purebred English bulldog died of heart-related causes in Savannah, Georgia, according to its owner, Frank “Sonny” Seiler.

Fans knew Uga VII had arrived when the white dog, sporting a spiked collar and red Georgia University jersey, made his short strides along the football field’s sidelines. He made his first appearance at the August 30, 2008, season opener, when Georgia faced off against Georgia Southern, the university said. He was nearing the end of his second season with the team, the university said.

He was preceded by his father, Uga VI, the university’s winningest mascot, who died of congestive heart failure.
