ple means caring
behavior.
He said it’s important for
students to feel special and
important in school, where
youngsters spend most of
their time, as some of them
might not always feel that
way.
“It’s a hard time to be in
education right now, and
we're trying to keep the mo-
rale up,” said Traver. “I think
this program helped all of
us.”
Ten-year-old Emma Sarley,
of Trucksville, regularly par-
ticipates in classroom reward
programs because it helps her
be “happy and a good friend.”
“If you be nice and be be-
haved, good things can hap-
pen,” she said.

dressed up like a frog,” she said.
Some traveled far and wide to
make it to the amateur competi-
tion. Mark DeStefano of Chesa-
peake Beach, Md., had his 2-year-
old mutt Rory make the four-hour
trek to the Dallas Township cam-
pus to be entered into the con-
test.
“She’s the epitome of man’s
best friend,” he said.
Rory is the definition of a
mixed breed — she’s part Bernese
Mountain Dog, part Chocolate
Labrador Retriever and part Box-
er.
“A friend’s friend had a litter of
puppies, and she was the last
one,” said DeStefano, a business
student at Misericordia. “Her
original name was Mini because
she was so much smaller than the
other dogs.”
The event was sponsored by
the Misericordia University Peer
Advocates, a group that fosters
programs about education,
awareness, service and advocacy
for first-year students.
Andrea Carr, of Dallas, said 31
dogs participated in this year’s
event and $576 was raised for
Blue Chip Farms Animal Refuge
in addition to supplies that were
donated.
Winners were selected in cate-
Pories including biggest, small-
est, celebrity look-alike, cutest,
best trick, best hair/fur, best per-
sonality and best in show. Prizes
included gift certificates to local
businesses and various pup pam-
pering supplies.
Marge Bart, owner of Blue
Chip, said the event helps get the
no-kill animal shelter’s name out
to the public and that every little
bit of financial aid helps the ani-
mals.
“It also brings all the animal
lovers together,” said Bart as she
judged the cutest category. “It’s
great to see everyone socializing
their dogs. There aren’t many op-
portunities to do that.”
