The Live Mascot Legacy
The Live Mascot program is one of Fresno State’s most beloved campus traditions. Beginning in 1921 with student body president Warren Moody and a tough-looking Bulldog who came to campus every day, the Live Mascot Program has grown exponentially in the last hundred years. Read more about the history of live mascots at Fresno State.
Today, Victor E. Bulldog III loves peanut butter, squeaky toys, and meeting new people. He's been known to chase Fresno State squirrels around campus when he's not busy cheering on the Red Wave at athletic events or giving our scholarly students a pup talk. With over 20,000 fans on social media, a quarterly newsletter, and a busy schedule of events, Victor E. Bulldog is always actively engaging to encourage new connections to campus.
