Therapy Dogs ease student stress before Cedar Crest finals

The last week of winter semester classes went to the dogs at Cedar Crest College, Allentown, but, in this case that was not a bad thing.

Lehigh Valley Therapy Dogs were on campus Dec. 6 for Exam De-stress Day.

The dogs are trained by volunteers to promote well-being and healing through comfort and companionship.

As the end of the semester can be a tense time for the college community, the Therapy Dogs were on-hand (or in this case on-paw) to help ease the stress.

The event was sponsored by the Cedar Crest College School of Nursing.
