Peanut butter and bacon is Wyatt Nelson's favorite flavor.
The dogs seem to like it, too.
Nelson, a 15-year-old freshman at Hersey High School with Down syndrome and autism, took some of his favorite ingredients, combined his love of cooking with his love of dogs, and started his own business, a dog treat company called Wyatt's Dog Company.
"Peanut butter and bacon," Nelson, who sometimes has difficulty communicating his thoughts, shyly confirmed as his favorite flavor through his mother, Deborah.
Wyatt makes the treats, which are similar to cookies and shaped like bones, at home and sells them on Facebook, through mail orders and from a small display in the back of the Sunflower Boutique in Arlington Heights.
All the profits go to special needs therapies and charities.
On Saturday, Wyatt, his mother and Mary Schaefer, the owner of Sunflower Boutique, were on hand at the boutique to hold an outdoor meet-and-greet and special holiday sale. The treats sold out in less than two hours.
"Wyatt is going to be on a career and life skills track, and we were talking about what he wants to do when he gets older and we were going through his favorite things, things that come naturally to him, and the top two were dogs and cooking," Deborah Nelson said. "We foster dogs and Wyatt has a penchant for special needs dogs. He spends a lot of time with a dog named Elmo with three legs.
"In October, Wyatt said that he wanted to make trick-or-treats for dogs, and I said, 'Oh, perfect time to launch your business.'"
And so Wyatt's Dog Company was born. From there, Wyatt and his mother researched dog foods as well as the things that dogs like and the things that aren't healthy for dogs.
The family came up with all kinds of natural ingredients that Wyatt mixes himself. The cookies are baked and then brushed with some duck fat or bacon drippings to give them added flavor.
Flavors included in the holiday sale on Saturday included Turkducken, Sweet Potato, Peanut Butter-Bacon, and Thanksgiving Turkey and Mashed Potato.
Wyatt beamed at Sunflower while watching his treats catch on in popularity.
"Today was a culmination of everything," Deborah Nelson said. "He prepared a fresh batch yesterday and packaged them and practiced a speech that he said today at the meet-and-greet. ... We had about 15 dogs and 50 people come out today. This has been great for him."
Schaefer, the owner of Sunflower, spent a career as a special-education teacher in Des Plaines before retiring and purchasing the boutique earlier this year.
Owning a business "gives him more of the hands-on teaching that is not going on right now in schools because of hybrid learning, and it gets him more acclimated in the community that he is going to be a part of (as an adult) and it gives him confidence," Schaefer said. "Folks are coming in here and going directly to Wyatt's little corner (display), and they love it and they love his story. It's so touching."

The village held two virtual community listening sessions in October as part of an initiative to gain a deeper understanding of residents' perceptions and experiences related to diversity, inclusivity and belonging.
Among the concerns identified through those sessions were a lack of diversity in the police and fire departments, intolerance displayed by some community members toward different races and ethnicities, and lack of affordable housing.
Nearly 82% of the village's 74,760 residents and 92% of its employees are white. The remaining population is 10% Asian, nearly 6% Latino, 1.5% Black, and 1.7% two or more races. Village employees are roughly 3% Latino and mixed race, respectively, 1% Black and 0.5% Asian.
"One of the themes that we are going to be talking about is how do we engage on an ongoing basis with all of our residents," Recklaus said. "This is just one piece of the analysis. All of it is food for thought."
The village's diversity consultant, the Kaleidoscope Group, will use the findings as part of an audit of village policies and programs and deliver a plan with recommendations to village leaders. Currently, the consultant is conducting focus groups and a survey of village employees. Final recommendations will be released by the first quarter of 2021.

Teen roundtable
The Elgin Police Department is urging teens ages 16-19 to air their concerns about law enforcement and connect with peers during a virtual roundtable at 4 p.m. Dec. 3 to talk about how to improve the relationship between police and youths.
Previous discussions were held in person before the pandemic hit and civil unrest sparked nationwide after the killings of Black people by police.
"This is an opportunity for us, after the changes we have seen in the world, to see what their viewpoint is," Elgin police Cmdr. Jim Bisceglie said. "Obviously, with COVID we are trying to remain engaged with our community virtually the safest way we can. We embrace and love diversity. Any teenager that is interested is welcome."
Bisceglie said the department offers youth activities, including a CSI (crime scene investigation) Academy, Explorer Program, Teen Police Academy, and projects in partnership with Gail Borden Public Library, such as decorating cookies, moviemaking and music producing.
"Those are the events that we really miss that can't be done virtually," Bisceglie said. "Right now, with everybody mostly staying at home and not going to school (in person) that social interaction is lacking for a lot of our kids. We truly hope that within the next year we will be back to in-person meetings."

Reflecting on 2020
A global pandemic. A recession. A nationwide racial reckoning. The 2020 census. And a contentious presidential election.
A new WTTW News special, "Making Sense of 2020," will reflect on the challenges of this year and how Chicago-area residents responded. Scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Dec. 1, it will include stories from the city and suburbs of residents struggling to cope, racial unrest and activism, and the drive to rebuild.
It is produced and written by Daniel Andries, a regular contributor to Chicago Tonight who produced the Emmy Award-winning documentary series "Art & Design in Chicago" and the film "Beauty Rises: Four Lives in the Arts."
As part of its coverage, the WTTW News/Chicago Tonight team launched two new weekend shows, "Latino Voices" and "Black Voices," revealing major disparities in community resources and impacts, and how residents stepped up to inspire and help each other.

MADRID -- Madrid's ancient and emblematic Rastro flea market reopened Sunday after a contentious eight-month closure because of the COVID-19 pandemic that has walloped the Spanish capital.
With many major European flea markets still shut down, the Rastro's return seems to be another example of Madrid's bid to show that heavy coronavirus restrictions may not be necessary even among the latest surge of the virus and some sort of normality can resume with precautions.
That stance has been both criticized and lauded.
After lengthy negotiations, city authorities agreed the Rastro could open at 50% capacity, with half its 1,000 stalls alternating each Sunday for a maximum crowd of 2,700 people.
Police with backup drones will monitor the market to avoid overcrowding.
Dating back to the 1700s, the Rastro sells the usual flea market mix of antiques, clothes, furniture, bric-a-brac and curios in stalls that snake down through a warren-like district next to Madrid's majestic Plaza Mayor square.
