I just ran across an article about a law school bringing in puppies for students to play with during finals week, in an effort to help the students de-stress in between study sessions.
A puppy I’m not responsible for but get to play with? Count me in! And animals are used in lots of ways to help people cope. Like in The Outside of a Horse where working with horses helps a man recover from post-traumatic stress after he returns from Iraq. If you could choose anything you wanted to help you relax, what would it be?
