Dogs Visit Rice University for Study Break from Finals
Since Thursday afternoon, Rice University students have had the opportunity to mingle, de-stress and share hugs with dogs of various breeds during finals week at Fondren Library. The library has asked Houston pet therapy organization Faithful Paws to bring its friendly and specially-trained canines to the first floor of Fondren. The remaining dog sessions are 2 to 6 p.m. Dec. 8 and 5 to 10 p.m. Dec. 10.
When you went to college did you have therapy dogs come and visit during your study break?
FAITHFUL PAWS PET THERAPY PROGRAM was founded in June of 1997 and is sponsored by Bellaire United Methodist Church. We visit facilities in and around Houston, Texas.
PURPOSE: A team of organized volunteers involving the incorporation of trained animals specifically designed to administer unconditional love and therapy to adults and children in nursing homes or hospitals and to share the love and joy of God with the people we visit.
OBJECTIVES: Animal assisted therapy is a scientifically proven form of therapy that is recognized as therapeutic and recreational.

Hey Cavaliers, Jet here. Hi Miss Felissa.
Mom could only wish they brought dogs onto her undergrad and law school campuses. This is fabulous!

This is a very good idea to reduce stress during the holidays. I think that if I had a dog, I would do this. Along with visiting nursing homes.

I didn’t have a therapy dog visit during college but when I worked at Carolinas Healthcare System they did have a therapy dog that I would occasionally see in the hallways at the hospital. Amazing how an animal can bring smiles to a persons face just by being themselves.
