Onyx, a shepherd/retriever mix, will proudly tell you a story about the time he flushed a dove from the shrubs in Jim’s yard and caught it mid-flight. It was this feat (or his favorite duck toy) that ignited his passion for ornithology which, if ever offered as a BMA elective, he will be an
active participant in. Even without ornithology, Onyx loves BMA. Sometimes Onyx is so eager to come to “work,” he will follow Jim to his car, leash in mouth, to see if he can come too. Onyx loves the attention he gets from the students, the walks he is taken on, and seeing his BMA dog friends. On days when Onyx stays home, he also loves napping, chasing flying insects, and a good steak.
