Students at the University of San Francisco now have the option to take a break from the books...to relax with therapy dogs.
In conjunction with the SPCA's "Animal Assisted Therapy Program," USF will allow students to spend time with therapy dogs - they can play, cuddle, or just relax with the dogs.
Two super friendly dogs from the San Francisco SPCA will be at the "Furriends for Finals" event in the Gleeson Library Atrium.
Organizers hope it will help relieve stress during final exams.
