How did he do that?

Alice and Mickey, the Library mascot
Mickey Can Read
Mickey can read. Yes! Like other dogs Mickey barks at the delivery truck and service vans that drive down our street or (Heaven forbid!) park in front of our house. It doesn't matter whether or not the driver actually approaches our door or a neighbor's, Mickey warns us about them all. But he never even yips when the UPS truck is near. DHL, Schwann's, Sears, even the mail truck; they all get his full range of sounds and emotions, but he accepts the UPS truck with no complaint. How can a dog possibly know the difference? It isn't the exact same truck each time, nor is it the same driver. UPS doesn't visit everyday, so it can't be mere familiarity. No, we've decided that Mickey must recognize the the logo or letters. He can read!
