Meet Charlie pictured on the right. A Great Dane who joined the students on campus this last week for part of the finals week therapy dog visit. Weighing in at 160 pounds and over 6 feet tall Charlie, along with many other dogs and their owners, was a delight to have on campus.
Playing with these dogs was a great stress relief before finals. Students would gather around in different locations on campus such as the Lindell Library and the Christensen Center to release some stress before they went studying for finals. The dogs were well behaved and loved the attention. I could just simply take a step away from my paper in the library and receive some kisses fro
m the dogs and then get back to work, I loved it.
Finals week therapy dog visits are just another great benefit students receive from being an Auggie. A huge thank you goes out to the owners who were willing to help us end the semester on a good note.
