Stressed by exams? Pet a dog

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."
