Ubu's [[mascot]] is Goldberg's dog '''Ubu Roi''', a black [[Labrador Retriever]] that he had in college and subsequently traveled the world with. The closing tag for Ubu Productions is a photograph of Ubu Roi with a [[frisbee]] in his mouth, taken in the [[Tuileries Garden]] close to the [[Louvre|Louvre Museum]] in Paris. Along with the picture is Goldberg himself saying "Sit, Ubu, sit! Good dog!", followed by a [[Bark (sound)|bark]] created by the sound engineer working on the closing tag.<ref>{{cite AV media |people=Gary David Goldberg |date=January 30, 2007 |title=Gary David Goldberg Interview | type=Podcast |language=English |url=https://interviews.televisionacademy.com/interviews/gary-david-goldberg |access-date=January 2, 2024 |time=11:43 |location=Brentwood, CA  |publisher=Television Academy Foundation }}</ref>
