Marine Corps Bulldog Retires After 6 Years Served
“Chesty XII”, a Bulldog, has served as the mascot for the United States Marine Corps for the past 6 years. The 7 year old dog was named after Lt. Gen. Lewis “Chesty†Puller – the most decorated Marine in history.
Chesty was sent off in honorary Marine style- a full band played for him and ended with the tune “Auld Lang Syne”. Chesty will be replaced with another Bulldog – Chesty XII. The elder Chesty will be living the good life in the home of 2 US Marine Band members. His service will consist of lounging and playing with toys!

I would like a pair of dress blues for my Bulldog, but Chesty’s wardrobe is not longer available. Can you tell me where I could get a pattern to make my own? I would like to have Dozer in Dress Blues in time for the USMC Birthday this year, and parade him at Quantico
