Georgetown's campus has a new import from California: four-month-old puppy Jack the Bulldog, the Hoya's new mascot.
- Jack will be the ninth bulldog to serve as mascot. He loves cantaloupe and chasing dragonflies.
- And he has official duties: courtside at basketball games, getting around campus in a golf cart, and showing up to events.
Former mascots skateboarded at basketball games.
Flashback: The English bulldog breed was picked in 1962 to represent the school.
- Students originally named the first two-year-old bulldog "Hoya," but Jack was the only name the dog answered to, the university says.
