Zeke the “Wonder” Dog

Last weekend my husband and I went up to

East Lansing and watched the MSU homecoming parade.  About half way through the procession, a truck labeled Zeke the Wonder Dog appeared.  Behind it, a man walked a golden retriever while carrying a Frisbee in his hand.

 

Zeke was a very popular celebrity when I was a student there.  His Frisbee catching skills were awesome and he was present at most of the MSU home games.  That was when dogs were just starting to compete by catching Frisbees.  He was one of the best in the business. 

 

I had forgotten about him and was happy to see that he was still a huge part of college life.  The Zeke we saw last weekend wasn’t the Zeke that performed those amazing leaps and catches way back then.  He has long since retired.  But the name has continued on and Zeke still represents

Michigan State University and hopeful MSU fans everywhere.
