"Huck Sits"
Jaime, Huck, and I went to Mary's kindergarten class to demonstrate how Huck is a service dog and how sometimes people need dogs to do a job for them. After we left, Mary had her kids draw what they liked about it or what they learned.
This drawing is impressive because the child attempted to illustrate a movement on paper, which was the hand signal we use for "sit." That is the hand starting in front of you with the elbow at 90 degrees, palm up. Quickly raise your hand up, pivoting at the elbow so your hand is now close to your shoulder. (It looks like it would be something for "come on," but it's for the sit command.) You can see in the picture three positions of the arm, with the light color yellow leading and finishing with the dark color green. In the left hand is a bag of treats. This kid is very observant!
