Students crowded into the Ambassador Auditorium on Monday to seek an audience with some of the most popular therapists on campus — the certified dogs of Therapeutic Paws of Canada.

Education student Erika Corey said she appreciated the opportunity to go to the dogs.

“It’s a nice break from working on assignments,” she said as she petted Prince, an eight-year-old border collie.

The session was a break for Prince, too. He has a day job on a farm, helping to corral horses as his breed was developed to herd sheep.

The Paws from Stress event will return to the CAW Student Centre from noon to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 29.
