He lies quietly on his blanket and listens to the stories without interrupting, correcting or judging. It’s a treat for students to see Brody each week. They often ask for an extra minute to pet Brody, see his tricks and reward him with pets and hugs for his great job of listening. Brody has to navigate the busy school hallways without chasing a runaway ball or following noisy students out to recess.
