In an Instagram post that has everyone talking, the former Beatle's dog was spotted wearing an ASU collar, making quite the fashion statement on Easter Sunday. Fans and followers of McCartney, who has racked up a considerable 4.3 million on the platform, might have missed this tiny but telling detail amongst the holiday festivities, according to Phoenix New Times.

But why would McCartney's canine companion opt to casually sport university gear from the desert state? Some might've scratched their heads, but the answer isn't so far-fetched. McCartney's current wife, Nancy Shevell, boasts an ASU diploma from her college days, as reported by Phoenix New Times. Nabbing her business degree in the early 80s, Shevell has left a collegiate mark on the McCartney household.

It's not just marital bonds tying McCartney to Arizona. His first wife, Linda Eastman, was a University of Arizona attendee, and together they owned a ranch in southern Arizona. McCartney still owns this property, where Linda succumbed to cancer in 1998. McCartney's ties to the state go beyond personal affairs, with a previous performance at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix adding to his Arizona rapport, as per Phoenix New Times.

Those inspired to kit out their pets in collegiate apparel are in luck; there are plenty of pet accessories sporting university logos. As for McCartney's dog, his loyalties seem firmly set, though he's probably more interested in the next treat than in sporting traditions. To get a peek at the dog's outfit choice, you can find the post on McCartney's official Instagram page, as cited by 12news, and see for yourself just how endearing college pride can be—even on a four-legged friend.
