Newton Trades the Dog Yard for the Zoo in Calgary

Newton took some time to visit the Calgary Zoo when he was in town for the Team fundraiser, and mugged for the camera doing the now familiar "Lightning Bolt" pose in homage to fellow Jamaican and Olympic Gold Medalist Usain Bolt. Newton had never seen most of the animals at the zoo and was in awe most of the time. His favorite was the gorillas and most of all the 4 month old baby.
