WABI covers therapy dogs’ visit at Fogler

WABI (Channel 5) reported on Koda, Lautrec, Finch and Ellie’s visit with students at Fogler Library. Licensed therapy dogs regularly interact with students before and during finals to help alleviate stress. “A lot of times students are stressed out or they’re away from home, or things are really busy and they want some kind of stress reliever, so really the dogs are a stress reliever,” says Brad Beauregard, Fogler Library public relations manager. “People grow up with dogs and they come to college and they might not have as many dogs to interact with, so the dogs are a chance to kind of remind them of home and kind of take the edge off a busy time of the year.”
