History of mascots, Dawgtown movie, Government-issue furries – Newsdump (2/09/15)
by Patch O'Furr
Headlines, links and little stories to make your tail wag. Story tips are always welcome. First, a little site news…
Nominate Dogpatch Press for an Ursa Major Award, and get fuzzy hugs! I love furries so much, blogging about them is it’s own reward. But I love shinies too, so can the highly attractive readers of this site nominate it for an award? Please go to the Ursa Majors site and submit a Best Magazine nomination. These hugs are worth it. (OK, they’re worth nothing because I hug everyone for free. They’re just priceless.)

“99 Percent Invisible” radio show presents a thrilling history of mascots.
From Episode 151 – La Mascotte:
“Furry, larger-than-life, foam-headed mascots may seem standard-issue for sports teams now, but this is only a relatively recent phenomenon in the history of professional sports.”
