For most Texas A&M students, navigating campus is an unremarkable part of their daily routine, but there’s nothing ordinary about any trip that construction science major Ian Moss takes when he’s accompanied by Reveille, the collie who serves as Texas A&M’s mascot.

“It was a little overwhelming at first,” said Moss, a corporal in the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets, who was announced as Reveille’s handler at an April 17, 2015 ceremony. “People that never noticed me before stop and ask to take pictures. It’s been crazy,” he said.

“My favorite part about being with Reveille is seeing how she affects other people,” continued Moss, a sophomore. “Everywhere Reveille goes, all of a sudden everyone’s face lights up. She makes everyone’s day better.”
