Yale Law School Offers Therapy Dogs to Help With Stress. We May Have to Take A Road Trip To New Haven or Just Watch the Video Below
Yale Law School, renowned for competitiveness and its Supreme Court justices, is embarking on a pilot program next week in which students can check out a “therapy dog” named Monty along with the library’s collection of more than one million books.
While the law school is saying little so far about its dog-lending program, it has distributed a memo to students with the basics: that Monty will be available at the circulation desk to stressed-out students for 30 minutes at a time beginning Monday, for a three-day trial run.
“It is well documented that visits from therapy dogs have resulted in increased happiness, calmness and overall emotional well-being,” Blair Kauffman, the law librarian, wrote in an e-mail to students.
BUT WHAT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GO ALL THE WAY TO NEW HAVEN TO SIGN UP FOR A THERAPY DOG AT THE YALE LAW SCHOOL? WE'RE HERE TO HELP!
DESTRESS IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN OFFICE OR HOME. JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO FEATURING RESCUE DOGS BY THE GROUP, "OK GO". REPEAT AS NECESSARY.
And isn't it interesting that the background in the video is "almost" Yale Blue?
