The UW’s adorable malamute puppy mascot, Dubs–you’ve likely seen his likeness adorning a number of DW posts on the school’s sports teams, or on his own must-read blog–has just been named “Top Pet Mascot” of the NCAA tournament by Petside.com. Well deserved!For what it’s worth, the Mississippi St. Bulldog received an honorable mention–and wasn’t even the top Bulldog on the list. That honor went to Butler (#9). Meanwhile, the fake Husky of UConn got an undeservedly high 5th place finish. (Via Bob Condotta’s blog.)
