Reveille (dog)

Common card · No. 228908

Reveille is the official mascot of Texas A&M University. Students adopted the first Reveille, a mixed-breed dog, in 1931. The cadets raised $100 during World War II to make Reveille a general, as part of a fundraiser for the K-9 Corps. Reveille is the highest-ranking member of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets as she is the only cadet to have five silver diamonds. Eight years after the first Reveille died, a graduate of the university donated a Shetland Sheepdog to be the second official Aggie mascot, Reveille II. The third Reveille was the first to be a purebred Rough Collie; all subsequent mascots have belonged to this breed. Reveille IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX died in 1989, 1999, 2003, 2013, 2018, 2025 respectively. Reveille IX served from May 9, 2015, until her retirement on April 30, 2021. The current mascot, Reveille X, assumed her role as mascot on April 30, 2021, during the Corps of Cadets Final Review. All Reveilles to date have been female. When they die, the Reveilles are buried...
