Some of you may have already met the newest mascot to join the Western Bulldogs family at the Western Bulldogs Community Festival and Family Day or spotted him at home games, but we think it’s about time he had an official welcome.....

Introducing ‘Butch’, our real dog mascot, now making regular appearances at home games and other special events.

Butch is a very unique British Bulldog and has been raised and trained especially to deal with the large crowd of fans which surround him at home games. Among one of the clubs youngest fans, 1 year old Butch is a big hit with the crowd and is thriving on the attention he receives as team mascot.

He is always ready to have a photo or two with a Bulldogs fan, so keep an eye out for Butch at home games and special events throughout 2009. And please join him in cheering on the team.
