Jack Jr., an adorable year-and-a-half-old bulldog who became Georgetown’s mascot-in-training last year, will not be staying on campus. Indeed, the dog’s career as a mascot is over.

The Hoya was the first to report the news of J.J.’s departure from Georgetown. The school’s spokeswoman Rachel Pugh confirmed the news in a press release, saying that it was “determined that returning to a home environment” would be best for the dog:

Since [April 2012], J.J.’s caretaker and walkers have worked to orient him to campus and train him for mascot duties. We also worked with professional trainers to help J.J. learn about life on a busy college campus. Recognizing that the lifestyle of a mascot is exciting and hectic, involving many people, thousands of screaming fans, and regular appearances at events both on and off-campus, we wanted to ensure that our puppy would be happy with this unique lifestyle.

But alas, according to the school, J.J. was not cut out for the mascot life. Members of the Jack Crew, a group of students who help care for J.J. and his predecessor Jack, however, told the Hoya they were shocked to learn of the former’s departure. “If it’s specifically about J.J., I’m not sure why this is happening,” Jack Crew head Neve Schadler told the Hoya.

Jack Sr., the school’s former bulldog mascot who retired last year, recently turned 10 and still lives on campus. There’s no word on when a Jack III will be brought in for training.
