Looking back at the life of America’s Dog via his award-winning social media accounts . . .

Sun is down & a gentle breeze is about. Time for a Tail Wagon ride. My favorite pastime. Getting spoiled tonight.
-
Don’t take this place (@butleru), these people, & these moments for granted. There’s nothing else like the college experience. Live it up!
-
Kisses are the best medicine. -
Resting comfortably today while my tummy digests the wonderful @stelmo steak I had for dinner last night. Thank you, St. Elmo’s!
-
I guess imitation is a form of flattery, but surely there’s more originality to be had in Cincy, right? #TheButlerWay bit.ly/1eMNDvE
-
I appreciate everyone’s concern for my health, but do I look worried? Enjoying each day. Photo by @jiiiim. -
Update from Dr. Phillips’ house: I’m having fun and love being the center of attention. Got my new @buildabear too! flic.kr/p/fpCmnK
-
Had a great weekend. I may have a bum heart, but thx to treatment & meds, I’m feeling so much better. Gonna enjoy this while I can.
-
Car ride w/ my first mate, Master Everett. -
But really guys, can you believe I spent two nights at Purdue University?! I feel so dirty. Oh well, at least they got me feeling better.
-
Face deep in some @huddlesfrozen. No place I’d rather be. -
Well, the dermatologist says I’m going to look like a cast member from The Walking Dead for a while, but all ok. Healing properly.
-
Whatever you’re thinking, blame the guy directly behind me. -
[At major pharmacy] RX TECH: “How can I help you?” POPS: “Uh, prescription pickup for ‘Butler Blue II,’ please.” – I love it.
-
The Blue Mobile has the same nitrous button as seen in the Hummer on #Sharknado …And now you know.
-
Since I’m retired now, I thought I’d help @BUADCollier & @ButlerPrez sniff out our next @ButlerMBB coach. Rest assured, we’ll get our guy.
-
No bigger fan of @BUCoachStevens than me. After all, the guy had a big part in making me America’s Dog. Thx for everything, Coach!
-
Proud day at @butleru. I like to think I had a part in getting us to the @bigeastconf so it’s tough to watch from sidelines of retirement.
-
Senior Day for us both. RT @stuharvey1: Showin some love to my fav #bulldog @ButlerBlue2 on Senior Day in the Bowl. instagram.com/p/ay_aCnDkNU/
-
I wish I was in Miami right now so that the @Pacers could rub my head for good luck. I send them my best. #BeatTheHeat
-
Speaking from experience, I’m hesitant to advocate for the addition of babies & puppies. Nonetheless, congrats to @realjohngreen & fam!
-
We were both just getting going! RT @marcbever: @ButlerBlue2 Still love this pic of you and @edcarpenter20 from 2004 twitpic.com/cryod0
-
On this day, May 20, nine years ago, I first set foot on the @butleru campus. Seems like a good day to officially retire. I thank you, all!
-
A picture of me, nine years ago today, capturing my first time on the @butleru campus. #Blue2Retirement flic.kr/p/ekPA3k

-
Hooray! #ButlerGrad13 RT @thekingRudd: just watched @ButlerBlue2 graduate! twitter.com/thekingRudd/sta… -
So evidently it’s National Siblings Day. Seriously, we celebrate annoyances? Ugh, we’ll try to get a picture to commemorate the day.
-
Well, I think it would be hard for the rest of campus to live up to the hospitality at @BUAlphaChiOmega, but we’re willing to let you try!
-
As much as I hate to say it, congrats to @ButlerBlue3 for reaching @akcdoglovers Canine Good Citizen status. @BarkTutor = miracle workers
-
Congrats to our Angry Bird friend, Louie the Cardinal, on his National Championship! #louisville #ncaa #cardinal #bulldogs #butler #finalfour #godawgs -
Hey April Fools, it’s time to flip your Butler Blue Calendars. And that’s no joke! @indyindians flic.kr/p/e7K3RB
-
Now it’s a sprint finish to May 20ish. That date will cap a 9 year career. It’s been one heckuva ride. Thx for making me America’s Dog.
-
It’s kind of fun to hear yourself on the radio. @ButlerBlue3 barked back at me. Big dummy.
-
The birthday tweets are coming in hot & heavy. I can’t keep up. Thank you all! You’ve made me the luckiest 9 year old #Bulldog ever!
-
No shame in the way we went down. Proud of my Dawgs. It’s been an honor and a privilege.
-
Have you guys seen that commercial where the hipsters are eating fish sandwiches on a boat & fool that hippie with the fish finder thingy?
-
Less than 20 minutes until tipoff. The Colonel’s Famous Recipe is just the thing for a little Kentucky Fried Eagle! #GoDawgs #MarchMadness
-
I think Master Everett enjoyed meeting @GoTurbo too. He’s going to love this movie. #indy500orbust -
Bison burgers on me! No wait, you can buy your own. Let’s get ready for Saturday. 1 down! #GoDawgs
-
So the New Mexico State mascot can bring six shooters and @ButlerBlue3 and I can’t go to these NCAA Tourney games? #MarchMadness
-
Entering my last NCAA Tourney as official mascot today; an event that made me a household name. Here’s to another victory today! #GoDawgs
-
On this day, May 20, nine years ago, I first set foot on the @butleru
campus. Seems like a good day to officially retire. I thank you, all! (Don’t worry though, I’ll still be around.) #GoDawgs #Blue2Retirement -
Excited to finally confirm the worst kept secret in college athletics. The Butler Bulldogs will be a member of the @BigEastConf. next year!
-
Oh joy, highs in the 30s through Thursday. When will people learn that groundhogs can’t be trusted?
-
Don’t let these “experts” get you worked up about upset talk. Remember UTEP? #godawgs
-
Pinch me all you want, but w/ Blue in my name, I’m not wearing green. In other news, Happy Selection Sunday! #GoDawgs
-
My court, my ring, my territory. Step foot in here, be ready to battle. I’m 117-19 on this floor. flic.kr/p/e2rWZq
-
My last starting lineups for @ButlerMBB inside @HinkleFH. It’s the best part of the job. #GoDawgs vine.co/v/bw1q6He3YvM
-
Simply overwhelmed by the outpouring of support on Twitter today. Its more than I can keep up with. Thank you, all. #Blue2Retirement
-
I see @GeorgetownJack has a lead over the Orangemen at half. I hope you’re enjoying your last home game too, pal. #WAG #GoDawgs
-
And for the record, today is just my last @ButlerMBB game. If they make it to Atlanta, I’m going! Actually retiring on 5/20. 9 years exactly
-
St. Pius X School visit was hilarious. 3rd grader tells Pops, “I was sad when Butler beat IU.” Pops’ response: essentially an evil laugh.
-
-
Be a fan. If you can’t support our student-athletes & our coaches for their efforts, then you’re no diff. than a Xavier fan at this point.
-
Ball handling & loose ball drills. Or maybe just the breather in between. vine.co/v/bXwUeKuZh0q
-
I pose for a lot of photos, especially via smart phone. Unfortunately, the users aren’t always so “smart.” Allow me to help w/ some tips.
-
Just a little ‘rasslin w/ @ButlerBlue3. vine.co/v/b6UbPrbqIIj
-
Tonight, @drewwaddell got the chance to take my leash for @ButlerMBB. Also staring @RotneiClarke15. vine.co/v/b617ijEbUQm
