Bully gets hit: Miss St. bulldog fine after collision
Mississippi State’s bulldog mascot, “Bully,” is fine after taking a hit on the sidelines of Saturday’s game against Auburn….
The Mississippi State Bulldogs‘ canine mascot, “Bully,” was uninjured after taking a hit on the sideline during the first quarter of Saturday’s road game against Auburn.
Bully was on a leash, far back on the sideline with his handler near the end zone, when Auburn’s JaTarvious Whitlow tumbled into him after scoring a touchdown.
Mississippi State safety C.J. Morgan had tackled Whitlow just as he crossed into the end zone, sending Whitlow sliding on the grass in Bully’s direction. Bully took the hit across his body and remained standing.
Hey Bulldog Nation. Just want everyone to know I am fine!! I’m headed back out on the field now. Thanks for all the tweets and concerns. We love our fans!!! @SECNetwork @espn

He was taken off the field and examined, then returned to the sidelines in the second quarter. Bully was seen via FaceTime by a veterinarian back home and everything appeared to be fine, ESPN’s Holly Rowe reported.
