The room remained still that chilly morning as he waited by the door.
The small tan and white dog sits almost like a human with his nose pointed to the metal frame.
With every passing shadow dancing under the crack of the door, his ears stand to full alert, and his tail gives a quick jerk.
He doesn’t make a sound. He just waits. He knows the school children will come rushing through the door any minute.
He will give them a wet kiss as they all bend down to pet behind his ears.

“He is part of our family,” said Jamie Carr, BA headmaster. “The kids love him, and he loves them. He is here everyday, and it wouldn’t be the same without him.”

Alderman Aubry Brent Jr. told fellow city leaders Monday that the behavior frequently occurring at the local basketball court is unacceptable. Brent said if it is not eliminated, he wants the goals taken down.
Brent said the city has invested far too much in the Wardell Leach Recreational Complex for citizens to feel uncomfortable using it. Many have complained to Brent about the foul language, illegal gambling and other disturbances.
