I believe the dog's name is Chesty. Here's a story about what must be the current mascot:

Reporting for duty: New Marine Corps mascot Chesty joins long line of distinguished bulldogs

Chesty, a three-and-half-month-old puppy, joined the long line of famous English bulldogs that have gone before him, becoming Pfc. Chesty XIV — the new mascot of Marines Barracks D.C.

Way back in the 1980s I got the pleasure to meet the USMC mascot Bodacious. His escorts/handlers were very, shall we say, protective of him. I think they were about to beat the crap out of a non-Marine for saying he was ugly. I think the guy realized his error & walked away with his tail between his legs.
