Worried and anxious Louisiana Tech University students, faculty and
supporters learned Wednesday the college’s beloved bulldog mascot Tech
XX was dead – and had been for days.
The 4-year-old English bulldog apparently died of heat stroke on Sunday
after an animal clinic worker left him outside too long, said Patrick
Sexton, a Ruston veterinarian and owner of Sexton Animal Health Center.
The worker covered up the death – allowing dozens to search for the dog
and post rewards for Tech XX’s return – until he finally told Sexton
Wednesday morning, Sexton said.
Dave Guerin, spokesman for the university, said the Bulldog nation will
grieve the loss of the dog and pray for the Sexton family who cared for
him.
