My Pet Pal: Butch

July 31, 2017 12:00 am • Last Updated: July 31, 2017 8:39 am

Butch lives on the shore of Lake Wyassup in North Stonington but does not like getting his paws wet. He is a rescue from a kill shelter in Georgia. He loves everybody and is a true sweetheart. He was the official bulldog mascot at the Westerly High School graduation and walked between two lines of graduates, stopping every 10 feet in order to be petted and posed for selfies.
