Reveille IX

The collie officially took over on Friday at the Corps of Cadets Final Review. Reveille IX will retire to the Stevenson Companion Animal Life-Care Center.

The beloved collie will be immortalized in a work of art outside Kyle Field near the resting place of all former Reveilles.

The soon-to-be Reveille X was donated to the university in a small ceremony Friday. The candidate will train alongside current mascot Reveille IX until her retirement in May.

Some may see her as just a dog, but Texas A&M’s first lady is so much more for Aggies – and for her Aggie veterinarian.

Her time as the first woman to serve as Reveille’s handler will come to an end this week, but that’s not the end of Mia Miller's story.

“Everywhere Reveille goes, all of a sudden everyone’s face lights up. She makes everyone’s day better.”
