Overwhelmed by final exams and term papers, students are often rendered stressed. On Dec. 10, 4 Paws for Ability brought to Wright State a cute and cuddly way for students to unwind from finals week.
The nonprofit organization brought a litter of puppies to the Dunbar Library to help briefly take students’ minds off their studies. The snugglefest also helped the puppies, which will soon be service dogs.
Student reporter Reilly Dixon hit the scene to learn more about 4 Paws for Ability and find out how service dogs benefit Wright State’s campus.
Those looking to de-stress can see the puppies again on Tuesday, Dec. 11, at 10 a.m. in the Dunbar Library, second floor atrium.
