This was a funeral, complete with real tears.
Uga VI, the University of Georgia’s beloved bulldog mascot, was laid to rest Monday at Sanford Stadium with all the pomp and circumstance befitting the best of human beings.
The dog, which died Friday, entered the stadium inside his kennel on the back of a golf cart and was driven across the field. His modest procession was accompanied by “The Battle Hymn of the Bulldog Nation,” which is played before Georgia football games.
Uga was placed at the foot of a red marble mausoleum where his five predecessors are buried. The Rev. Claude McBride, a Baptist preacher and former football team chaplain, presided. He offered words of gratitude and a long prayer, which he concluded with, “Sic ’em, Uga. Woof, woof! Amen.”
