We Hear Your Dog Bernie Is Quite Special – Can You Tell Us More About Bernie And How He Became The Mascot At Your School?
Bernie is almost 5 years old, was born on Long Island, and is the typical English Bulldog who loves to sleep. His favorite foods are apples and peanut butter, but will drool everywhere if not given to him fast enough. As mascot for the Brookside School, Bernie participates in many school activities (picture day at school, last day of school, etc) and LOVES coming into school with me. There is not a day that goes by when a student asks, “When is Bernie coming in next?” So, the feeling is mutual.
