Hairy Dawg is the costumed mascot of the University of Georgia Bulldogs. Hairy Dawg was designed and created by Tom Sapp, a 1969 Georgia graduate and the founder of Real Characters, Inc. The mascot's first appearance was at the 1981 Sugar Bowl, but his first appearance in Sanford Stadium was not until the Georgia Bulldogs' 1981 victory against the Tennessee Volunteers.
In 2007, Hairy Dawg was a semifinalist in the Capital One National Mascot of the Year Contest. He was also one of the 12 contenders for this title in 2003 and 2004.
