RESOLUTION 2002-1: Adopting the Newfoundland as the Official Mascot

59th Annual Meeting
Association of American Physicians and Surgeons
Tucson, Arizona, September 2002

submitted by Dr. Tamzin Rosenwasser

WHEREAS: the Newfoundland dog has been recognized throughout the world as a lifesaving breed, freely dedicated to the care of its companions, though not without just and reasonable compensation; and

WHEREAS: it has been justly written that the Newfoundland dog possesses beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage without ferocity (Byron), attributes self-evident among AAPS members; and

WHEREAS: the Newfoundland dog does not bite the hand that feeds it, unlike governments are wont to do; and

WHEREAS: a specific member of the Newfoundland breed, Abanakis Kouchibouguac CD, has faithfully attended our national meeting for the past three years,

BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED THAT: the Newfoundland be adopted as the canine mascot of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.
