What is the tie between an English bulldog, and the Cajuns?

What is the tie to Louisiana?

The bulldog is Yale's mascot, and from there, Georgia's, and from there, Tech's. It's derivative. We picked it back when we were not yet proud of our own heritage.

To me, the bulldog represents that earlier embarrassment of the Cajun Culture, and the idea that people elsewhere are better, and smarter, and more important, than we are.

JMHO.
