If we measure the quality of a book in part by its subject matter, then Gary Porter's Griff: My Life as Drake's Top Dog is destined to be a best seller. How could it not be when the subject is our very own Griff--the most intelligent, cuddly, caring, athletic, and endearing mascot of all time! If you love Griff the way I do--and who doesn't?--then you need to get this book. Marty Martin, President, Drake University You don't have to be a Drake University alum or an English bulldog lover to enjoy a romp through the professional life of Griff the Mascot. Clearly Gary Porter knows animals and has fun interpreting what we think they are saying. Fun, lighthearted, and a great read for all ages. Griff will steal your heart (and your snacks, if given the chance). Tom L. Colvin, Chief Executive Officer, Animal Rescue League of Iowa Griff is a hard-working dog. He recruits students, cheers on teams, meets with luminaries, entertains members of the press, and still has time for naps and snacks. Every organization would be well served by a canine ambassador, and I can't imagine a better one than Griff. He's a very good boy, and I'm so glad he is sharing his story with Gary. Charity Nebbe, Host of Talk of Iowa, Iowa Public Radio I am thrilled to have Griff's life so beautifully captured by Gary Porter through Griff's own eyes. When Gary first approached me with the idea for a book, I knew he was perfectly suited to tell Griff's story. He is a Drake alum, an animal lover, and has been a longtime Bulldog supporter. The text and photos truly capture Griff's lovable personality. Well done, Griff! You're simply the best. Erin Bell, Director of the Drake University Live Mascot Program
