The Foleys and Zeke arrive at MSU about four hours before every home game. Shortly after they begin going around to tailgates, Zeke has to have black rubber boots placed over his paws. The boots protect Zeke?s paws from anything that might be on the ground such as broken glass or bottle caps. When Zeke is at Spartan Stadium, the boots are removed. Buck Bucceri, left, Quincy resident and owner of Bucceri Kennels, on Saturday afternoon helps owner Jim Foley take off the boots and tape. Jeana-Dee Allen/The State News
