What’s Up Dog?

Carlena Grandados’ senior project caught everyone’s attention. Her project is to raise and care for a black Labrador puppy that will help his future owner who may have autism.
Carlena got to show everyone on campus to see what her senior project is. The puppy was only a few months old but now he already knows how to obey. Both East Nicolaus students and staff alike were was excited to see a dog at school.
“I’m going to potty train him, and train him commands that he has to know. Plus, I am going to teach try to teach him to stop the child if he tries to leave from his house,” said Granados.
The “pawsitive” program gave her the puppy when he was only about two months. Granados is going to keep her puppy until eight to ten months, or until she has to go to the military.
“It’s going to be hard to get him to listen to me, and to potty training is going to be hard because I have to potty train him at school”.

Carlena has to bring her puppy every day to school because that way she can teach him how to behave around other people. She also mentioned how it’s hard to arrive to class on time. There has to be lots of potty breaks for her puppy and it’s going to be hard to teach her dog to stay still during her classes.
All money raised goes to the autism children so they can have a service dog. Granados is going to make this program more noticeable, which will help raise funds to make children with autism have a better life.
