And the winner is … Ruggles!

After receiving more than 42 percent of the 618 votes submitted, Ruggles is the clear winner and now the official name for the newest member of the Salve Regina family.

A five-month-old Labrador retriever chosen to become the University’s first community resource dog, Ruggles dropped by Ochre Court last week to meet President Kelli J. Armstrong, and the two quickly became friends.

Ruggles will be visiting campus as his training continues, so follow him on Instagram @rugglesatsalve.
