So sad that taking just the simpliest of precautions can prevent this from happening.

It is very sad...especially since it could have been prevented!

I don't know how someone can be so incompetent. He should be investigated or charged !!!!!!!

Last TWO Bulldog Mascots suffered from Heat Stroke

"His predecessor, Tech XIX, was retired in 2007 because of health concerns after suffering heatstroke, the university said on its website."

I'm sorry, but after a second issue with another bulldog in your care and heat stroke, I think you should pick another mascot, maybe a LIZARD or something that isnt bothered by the heat.

It makes no sense to me at all... none...sorry... I'll go crawl back under my rock, now that I've vented.

So heartbreaking. He was such a beautiful bulldog. It's definitely a cautionary tale about being extra diligent with our bullies in the summer.
