The Cutest Live College MascotsAnimals have long been a part of college sports. And it's no surprise that the most enduring – and adorable – of these fan-friendly, fun-loving furballs are dogs

Dubs, Washington's Alaskan malamute

His team is known as the Huskies, but Dubs is actually an Alaskan Malamute who was hand-picked from a kennel outside Seattle to become UW's 13th live mascot. His breed is prized for its ability to pull heavy freight as a sled dog, and the easygoing pup has certainly been pulling his weight as an eager representative for Washington's athletic department. In addition to starring in TV commercials and palling around with Huskies quarterback Jake Locker's pup, Ten, Dubs even has his own blog – er, blawg.
