The award-winning canine and his owner, Jane Eisenberg, are volunteers with Therapy Dogs International and have spent the last three years comforting Hospice patients. The 71-pound golden retriever enjoys the attention from students and doesn鈥檛 mind cuddling with them or posing for a 鈥渟elfie.鈥
鈥淪tudies have shown that therapy pets can help to reduce stress and anxiety and a growing number of universities are having success with golden retrievers during final exams,鈥 said Rita Pellen, associate dean of Libraries. 鈥淜ol鈥檚 visit to 麻豆精品视频puts a different face on the academic library and shows our students that we care about what they are experiencing.鈥
Kol鈥檚 visit is hosted by 麻豆精品视频Libraries and the 麻豆精品视频Mentoring Project.
