Hundreds of students at Bay Path College in Longmeadow, Massachusetts, gathered on the terrace next to the Blake Student Commons to spent time petting and hugging each Bright Spot Therapy Dog that attended the Stress-Relief Event held on the campus today.
Clouds held back the sun, but they didn’t prevent our gentle, friendly, comforting Bright Spot Therapy Dogs from providing a pleasant break from studies during the College’s mid-term exam period. Twelve therapy dog teams in all filled the large terrace, dogs of all shapes and sizes. All were trained and certified through Bright Spot Therapy Dogs.
The Therapy Dog Stress-Relief Event today at Bay Path College was the fourth such event we have held on college campuses this year, with four more events planned before the end of 2013. Faculty and staff, as well as students, love having the therapy dogs on campus. The dogs love being there – and our dedicated Bright Spot volunteers enjoy sharing their dogs in this way. A win-win all around!
