UConn’s dog mascot takes the Ice Bucket Challenge, calls out Uga

This is a development we like.

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is going to the dogs, which in this case is absolutely not an insult. In fact, it’s pretty darn awesome. Jonathan XIV from UConn took on the challenge from Northern Illinois University and getting ice water poured on his back probably felt awesome to a Husky in the summer.

In the interest of paying it forward the pup is calling out Uga IX from Georgia. Yes please, we absolutely want to see a bulldog get doused with water.
