Behind the Mascot -- Harvey the Hound

It's time once again to take look behind the stuffing, behind the fur and find out who mascots are on the inside. What are their hobbies? What do they do in their spare time and, most importantly, why do they like to eat children? This time, Calgary's Harvey the Hound is in the spotlight.
