Hokie was named after the attacks on virginia tech, because we are fans, and being a low class family, we couldnt donate or anything to those who suffered through the virginia tech shootings, so we felt having a new life to celebrate was at least SOMETHING we could do. Hokie is so spoiled and full of life, and we believe he has a little bit inside of him from each of the ones who were lost that horrible day on april.11. he is fun, spirited, goofy, and loyal, as most "Hokies" are! i wish everyone could have a Hokie!
