I thought therapy dogs were intended for the very sick, not for healthy young people ostensibly ready to take on the real world. But then again, this is Connecticut.

Dogs are now deployed to relieve traumatized liberals.

They’re replacement children for people who don’t have kids. It’s really sad.

Poor little snowflakes. UCONN would do better to bring in hookers.

All well and good until someone from the Mooselimb Student Association starts complains that Dogs are Haram and offensive to them.

Just wait until these little snowflakes have to work in the real works and deal with job related stress.

Safe spaces.....therapy dogs.....”trauma” counselors....

A big chunk of this generation of students are mentally feeble.

UConn is enabling ‘snowflaking’.

Well, at least that way there is no issue regarding consent. In a cash transaction.

This is probably a good thing. So long as the dogs are not being screamed at by teary students, or hugged too tightly like stuffed animals. There should ALWAYS be a third party around to check on the dog’s welfare at least once an hour.
Better to use therapy dogs and cats vs valium, ambien, zoloft, marijuana or alcohol- when you don’t really have to.

Poor babies. Somehow I managed to get through finals without such assistance.

What a soft and effing pathetic generation. My “therapy” back in college was sex and booze.
