Jonathan XV is a 2-month old Siberian husky who will take over as the official UConn Husky mascot this fall. "Jonathan XV is a really fast learner, and he's adorable," she said. The two dogs will make joint appearances for the time being, with Jonathan XV taking over the mascot duties when the older dog retires in October, Reitz said. Jonathan XIV had a medical scare in January when a mass was found on his spleen and doctors removed the organ. The Husky has been UConn’s mascot since 1933, when it was selected in a poll of students.
