Who Was the Mystery Guest?

PICTURES OF TREVOR---CLICK HERE...http://embedit.in/Wdne7DYvUd.swf
My mama, Sandy Boykin, brought her cocker spaniel named "Trevor" to visit the 3rd graders last Friday.  Trevor demonstrated many things the students have been learning while doing research on the internet.  He gave a perfect demonstration of how dogs use their sense of smell.  At one point, his ball bounced up under the top bleacher, and he couldn't find it.  But, he stuck with it, and sniffed it out, eventually finding the ball and returning it to me.  He showed obedience by listening, following commands, and proved how patience and rewards can help make a well-trained dog.  3rd graders were very surprised that our "Mystery Guest" was not a person, but rather....a dog!
