Ruff recovery: Smokey on the mend

Published Oct. 5, 2011

Smokey IX, the bluetick coonhound who's been UT's mascot since 2004, has been undergoing physical therapy at UT. Dr. Darryl Willis, one of Smokey's veterinarians, first noticed a problem at the Cincinnati game. Dr. Willis later determined Smokey has a partial-torn ACL, for which he is now being rehabilitated.
