True story: Back in the 1960s, before Peanuts took off with animation, a Catholic priest who was the principal of a boys high school in Shreveport, Louisiana sent a letter to Charles Schultz asking if the school could use Snoopy the WWI Flying Ace as the school's mascot as the school's nickname was The Flyers. Schultz agreed, and today Loyola College Prep is the only school in the world that can legally use Snoopy as it's mascot. story of Snoopy mascot
