Dog becomes star pupil at primary school after he learned -how to READ

Fernie, a two year-old chocolate labrador, was introduced to classes as part of a national scheme to give young children motivation and confidence. But since starting at Winford Primary School, near Bristol, Fernie has been taught to recognise commands on four flashcards. Owner and headmaster Nik Gardner says Fernie can read the words 'sit', 'down', 'roll over' and 'spin'.
