Our Bright Spot Therapy Dogs love visiting area colleges and universities in western Massachusetts during mid-term and final exams. The Therapy Dogs provide a pleasant break from the stress of studying.
The YouTube video below, taken at one of our Therapy Dog Stress-Relief Events at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, is a perfect example of the impact these dogs have on the students. (Video produced by the University of Massachusetts Amherst.) Thanks to our dedicated Bright Spot volunteers who travel, sometimes long distances, to bring their special dogs to share with the students. These sweet, gentle Therapy Dogs make regular visits to healthcare and educational facilities throughout Massachusetts and neighboring New England states. All Bright Spot Therapy Dogs are thoroughly trained and certified through the Bright Spot program.
