Marine Corps Bulldog Retires After 6 Years Served

July 29th, 2008 by Dan

“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 The Bulldog Retires

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!
