Chase, a golden retriever, longtime mascot and beloved bat dog for the Trenton Thunder, died Monday, days after celebrating his 13th birthday at a retirement party at the team’s stadium.

 

The pup — full name: Chase That Golden Thunder — made his debut with the team in 2002, and gathered bats, grabbed frisbees and entertained fans for more than a decade.

 

“Chase was such a tremendous part of the Trenton Thunder identity for more than 10 years,” Thunder General Manager Will Smith told NJ.com. “His presence at Arm & Hammer Park or in the community was the epitome of the wholesome family entertainment for which we strive.”
