As official mascot of Butler University since just seven weeks of age, I&#8217;ve received more than my fair share of love, care and support. So in lieu of bring a gift for me, how a little something for some less fortunate dogs in my honor?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a little something I like to call, &#8220;Bulldogs to the Rescue,&#8221; and it&#8217;s something we&#8217;re doing for more than just my birthday. On Saturday, March 24, Butler is hosting the 20th annual <a title=\"The Bulldog Jog\" href=\"http:\/\/www.butler.edu\/bulldogjog\" target=\"_blank\">Bulldog Jog<\/a>, but this year, the organizers have added a little something to the event for my canine friends with an inaugural 1-mile dog walk.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ll be collecting items on behalf of the <a title=\"Indiana Bulldog Rescue\" href=\"http:\/\/www.indianabulldogrescue.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Indiana Bulldog Rescue<\/a> and <a title=\"Humane Society of Indianapolis\" href=\"http:\/\/www.indyhumane.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Humane Society of Indianapolis<\/a>all week long, at my birthday party and at the Bulldog Jog. My goal is to fill the back of the Blue II Mobile full of items that I can deliver to both charities.<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_965\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/butlerblue2\/files\/2012\/03\/blue-by-donation-box.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-965\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-965\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/butlerblue2\/files\/2012\/03\/blue-by-donation-box-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-965\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I guess I won&#039;t Destroy this Box<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p>So what can you bring?
