The class of 2005, of which our son is a member, will graduate on May 26th.
The three games of the championship series, of which this is the second, are all being played in New York.
Her three dogs, one of which is a Labrador, have all won awards at various dog shows. |

All of his three dogs won or just the Labrador?

All three have won awards.
It is easier to understand if the modifying clause is removed: Her three dogs have all won awards...
The clause doesn't change the truth of the simpler sentence, but it gives us additional information. |
