Through my life I have always been a person that is up to date with his news stories. Being I have been lucky enough to meet so many politicians through the years that is probably expected of me yet, even before then I have always enjoyed browsing through online newspapers reading about whatever may be going on in the world. Three days ago Mr. Cattorazlee had an assignment for us to go to a newspaper website and find a news story to read and share to the class. At resource that same day I came across an article about dog therapy. I who likes both dogs and news decided to take a look.
The article had talked about how The Yale Bulldogs had gotten a bulldog and have been passing the dog around to comfort anyone attending Yale law school who is stressed. Any Yale law student that is stressed can sign the dog our for a 30 minute session for relaxation and comfort at any time they want. The dog is hypoallergenic and is said to be very playful and energetic. People who have used the dog say that it really helps them relax. After hearing of the schools success many other schools around the country are considering getting an anti stress dog.
In my opinion I think it is a great idea to have a dog to comfort students that may be stressed. There is something about cuddling a dog that just makes you feel like everything is going to be ok. Only time will tell if other schools will begin to receive anti-stress dogs but I sure hope that the trend will continue. I think that it surely would be a great improvement to any type of school.
