Why the BULLDOGS?
by Beverly Poplin
Have you ever wondered why AHS
chose the Bulldog for its mascot? Aren’t you
glad you aren't a Comet—something from out-
erspace, or aColt—asmelly animal thatlives in
a bam? The Bulldog is a fitting mascot for AHS
as it is a symbol of ferocity and toughness.
Bulldogs were bred in Britain for the
so-called “sport” of bull-baiting. This activity
involved an exceedingly strong dog who co^ld
hold a bull by the ear after it was baited. Dog-
fighting was a natural outgrowth of bull-bait
ing but was outlawed in 1835.
There are traces of the old fighting,
bull-baiting dog in the present-day Bulldog.
Formidable in appearance with the look of
great strength, the Bulldog exemplifies the
PRIDE here at AHS. Travis Gaster, Greg
Nahrgang, and Jeremy Clarke all agree that our
fighting Bulldog football team’s bark was as
big as their bite. The Albemarle Bulldog re
mains, and always will, a symbol of ferocity
and toughness. GO DOGS!!!
AHS mascot, Brandon Cooke shows
off his Bulldog Pride.
