STORRS >> The University of Connecticut is providing its students with therapy dogs to help relieve the stress of final exams.
The dogs will be available for petting at the schools Homer Babbidge Library from Monday afternoon through Friday afternoon.
...
The school says it is keeping the dogs in a space that wont impact students with allergies who may also need to use the library.

Dogs are now deployed to relieve traumatized liberals.
>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.
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.

What is wrong with people? How in the H*ll did we survive finals week?
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.
I like it! “Hookers for Huskies”.
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.
Are the canines trained in diaper changing for these poor widdle babies?
Poor babies. Somehow I managed to get through finals without such assistance.
Finals have always been a ruff time.
I hear pit bulls make great therapy dogs

What a soft and effing pathetic generation. My “therapy” back in college was sex and booze.
God Save the Republic!
probably true.
Poor snowflakes might melt.
