Top dog celebrates birthday His AKC name is Achates First Alert Storm Warning, but the two-year-old Boston Terrier owned by UW-Green Bay Chancellor Bruce Shepard goes by "Andy" for short. The little guy made a surprise appearance last Wednesday at the big guy's 60th birthday celebration. Andy carried a gift card in his tiny backpack and, in exchange for bits of birthday cake, showed off a range of tricks for the students, faculty, staff and others who stopped by. Incidentally, if you're wondering whether pets are permissible party guests at campus events, the answer is normally "no," but Andy didn't require a presidential pardon. The gathering took place not at a state-owned facility, but at the Ecumenical Center.
