But the dog did not stand. So Ryan commanded once more, "stand!" but the dog simply yawned and closed his eyes on his two young masters.

           So Allan decided to take over and commanded and as soon as he shouted stand, Raffy immediately stood still inside the aquarium. 

          The two boys saw Raffy swimming still and standing inside the aquarium. They looked at each other wondering what just happened. Ryan commanded once again and looking at the aquarium tank, "Okay, sit!" and immediately Raffy lowered himself to the pebbles and rested on his side folding half of his body upwards. Once again, the two boys stared at each other and back at the flying fish sitting inside the tank.
