That's sad to hear, for Tech and the dog. I almost commented yesterday that it was more likely that the dog got out and died due to the heat than got stolen. But I would have never guessed one of its caretakers would have just forgot about the dog and tried to cover up his mistake. That's absolutely terrible.

This is sad. What an idiot that employee was. Cost them their job at least.

Apparently fishing string and popsicle sticks cannot fool very many people that your mascot is still alive.

Regretfully, I learned this morning that through negligence of an employee, Tech XX was left outside too long on Sunday evening and passed away from a heat stroke. That employee unfortunately chose to handle it the wrong way and attempted to cover it up. Due to this negligence, the employee is no longer employed by Sexton Animal Health Center.

What a piece of shite

Kind of seems like a lack of institutional control.

I knew something was suspicious. Who would care enough about tech to steal the mascot.

Sad. UGA has gone through this like a bajillion times in the last 20 years. Those bulldogs just weren't made for this Southern heat.


UGA's bulldogs die because they are fat and out of shape.

And you are correct, Bulldogs aren't made for the outside heat we experience this time of year and can't be out there as long as other breeds, but I imagine this length of time could have killed many types of dogs.

We are talking about over a few hours at least out there, not 15 minutes.

I was gonna add that, but I couldn't recall how inbred they are. I just know they come from the same breeder. But ya, passing on the same shitty traits over and over will sure do it.
