Much loved former Western Bulldogs mascot Sid passes away

THE Western Bulldogs have farewelled one of the club’s most beloved faces after Sid the Bulldog passed away last night. Sid was universally loved across the AFL landscape.

SID, the loveable retired Western Bulldogs Football Club mascot, has died just shy of his 10th birthday.

With a face only a premiership winning club could love, Sid had his time called — at age 9.5 years — with a Facebook post announcing the sad news late last night.

He was rushed to Wyndham Veterinary Clinic last night with breathing problems and was put on oxygen.

“He loved being the Western Bulldogs mascot, he loved game day and the fans. God he loved the fans and he knew that the fans and the team loved him.

“Tonight I held his paw, kissed his wrinkled head and said goodbye to my little mate for the last time.

“I love ya my little mate, till we meet again.”

Said the retired Western Bulldogs mascot.
