Baloo, the loveable St. Bernard dog who attends Siena College basketball games and other events, has been adopted by Siena President Chuck Seifert.

Baloo’s previous owner and handler recently accepted a new job that would require travel away from home, and he didn’t want Siena’s “director of happiness” to get lonely.

Chuck and Deb Seifert quickly stepped in.

The dog now lives in Serra Manor with the Seiferts.
