Uga VII passes away unexpectedly Thursday in Savannah
Uga VII, the legendary Georgia mascot who roamed the sidelines at Bulldog football games, died unexpectedly Thursday morning in Savannah. He died of heart-related causes according to owner Frank W. “Sonny” Seiler.  He was four years old and finishing his second season as the team’s mascot.  His given name was “Loran’s Best” and his first game was Aug. 30, 2008, vs. Georgia Southern.

In lieu of flowers or gifts, the Seilers have requested donations to help build UGA's new Veterinary Medical Learning Center.
