Handsome Dan VII posed with the first Dan for our October 1949 cover. We described him as “a frisky, seven months old, solid white, blue-blooded English bulldog.” He was later forced to retire at age three because he was “ill-tempered”—a trait that had been celebrated in the first Dan but was unsuited for postwar Yale. HD VII found a second career as a watchdog on a Florida estate. ___________________________________________ The Yale Alumni Magazine is published by Yale Alumni Publications Inc., an alumni-based nonprofit that is not run by Yale University.
