Ulk (1932–1942) was a Great Dane owned by Chilean President Arturo Alessandri during his second presidency.[1] Eventually Ulk became the symbol of his government, appearing in numerous photographs of the time.[2] [3] Ulk is remembered in various anecdotes about the government of Alessandri. Allegedly, Ulk once stepped in while a diplomat was offering his credentials to the president and rose on two legs and licked the diplomat in the face.[3]
