This past week, I went to pet young puppies in the Rose Commons Room, which was one of the most relaxing events I have ever been too. After a stressful week of final classes and the impending doom of finals, it was nice to see sweet, energetic, and happy young labs. It was awesome to hear how the dogs are trained to help people, and how effective they can be in doing this. I learned that these dogs have been trained to help the visually impaired in ways that I never thought of. In addition, there is a new program in which the dogs can predict when autistic children are in a dangerous situation — when they are about to run away. Not only was it relaxing and fun to see these dogs, but it was inspiring to hear how much they help people every day.
