Butch was always top of the class in our eyes even though as can be seen in this shot he has been sent to the back by cruel TV executives, hellbent on phasing him out.

We think that Butch must be returned to our lives and indeed our screens, if not in person then certainly in spirit, and that is why a group of enthusiastic actors have got together to form B.A.D.A - Butch's Academy of Dramatic Art.

This newest Academy of Acting was started by a small group of actors, who kept their true source of inspiration a secret, but when they discovered that there were many others that shared their passion and enthusiasm for this great canine icon, they came out from underground and are now openly Butch.
