Jonathan XV was part of a six-puppy litter born in Atwood, Ontario, Canada on April 19. He was picked up by handlers on June 17, which also happened to be National Mascot Day, and was brought back to Storrs.
The purebred Siberian Husky came into UConn at 10 pounds, but according to UConn, the puppy's lineage suggests that he'll likely grow to 55 or 60 pounds, which is close to size of the all-white Jonathan XIII who preceded the University's current Jonathan XIV, who weighs about 77 pounds.
Jonathan XV will begin his training to attend all University events.
