Handsome Dan XVII
2007-2016

Bred by Diane Judy of Johnson City, Tenn., Handsome Dan XVII was born March 21, 2007 and was the half brother of Rambo, owned by former Yale football captain Rory Hennessey '05. His home name was "Sherman", after the tank and Connecticut icon Roger. Sherman, who took over as Handsome Dan XVII in 2007, took to his job with great enthusiasm and was photographed with former President George Bush '48 and Sir Paul McCartney. He also raised thousands of dollars for charity.
