Stressed by exams? Pet a dog
Tufts finds unique way to help students through finals
To help students decompress during hectic study sessions, Tufts University has been bringing in therapy dogs. On Tuesday, "students set down their books, laptops and e-readers for a chance to pet, feed and even chase the therapy animals as media camera bulbs flashed," the Associated Press reported. Resident director, Michael Bliss, who brought the dogs in, says "taking a break out from that with something as easy and simple and loving as petting dogs is really helpful."
