How does Augie do this? In school, he picks up the pencil or notebook that Jenny drops. Jenny is also training Augie to pull off her jacket so Jenny doesn’t have to ask anyone for help.

       At home, Augie brings her the newspapers. He even helps clean Jenny’s room. When Jenny asks him, Augie goes to get her parents or sister. Augie also carries his food dish back to Jenny so she can fill it with dog food. Then Augie puts it back neatly in its place.
