Queen Rachel and Bandit teach kindness

Nat'l Miss Heart of America 2010 Queen, Rachel Bettendorf, took her trained dog, Bandit, to visit schoolchildren and teach them about being kind to animals. They visitied 2 different schools, 12 different classes and taught over 130 children about animal cruelty. One of the classrooms was that of Queen Rachel's sister, Lisa. Big brother, David, helped teach this important lesson.
We know you've made a difference, Queen Rachel, and we salute you, your siblings, and Bandit!
