Ike the Iconoclast

15 minutes with Ike, the Iconoclast, miniature schnauzer

Tell me about yourself, Ike.

I'm Ike, a miniature schnauzer. I'm the mascot of The Bluffton Icon.

Really?
Yes, and there's lot more. I'm actually the brains behind the project.

How is that?
I come up with story ideas, photo ideas and the political stance of the Icon.
