Quote:Exemplary Companion Dog: “Wave,” a Border Collie owned by Steve Stochaj of Las Cruces, N.M.

Wave, known as “Wave the Wonder Dog” at New Mexico State University, is a campus celebrity. Owned by NMSU School of Electrical & Computer Engineering Department Chair, Steve Stochaj, Wave is tasked with retrieving the kicking tee during NMSU football games. He has grown into a campus and community celebrity and even has thousands of followers on social media. Stochaj also brings Wave to spring and summer practices so he can meet the players and the players can get accustomed to them being around. Wave is not only keeping busy on campus, but he has AKC titles in Agility, Rally, Obedience, Tracking, Trick Dog, Dock Diving, and Canine Good Citizen (CGC). He also is a member of the Mesilla Valley Search & Rescue Organization.

We loved Smoki, Striking, and now Wave.

Definitely not the only collegiate tee retrieving dog out there, but he’s my favorite.

Now that Jerry Kill is leaving... everyone is leaving. Don't leave Wave!
