It s a dog s life on the ASU campus, where students find comfort with each wag of the tail Karina Bland, Arizona Republic
Lil’ Bit was a bit of a show-off, giving high-fives, sitting up and dancing in circles, much to the delight of the Arizona State University students who lined up to pet her.
Charlie was more laid back, stretched out on a striped blanket wearing an ASU shirt, his tail wagging non-stop.
Both are part of Sun Devil PAWS Therapy, 20 volunteers and their trained and licensed canines that periodically visit campus to offer students some stress relief. I need this right now, said Jared Calibo, 18, a freshman from Nebraska, scratching Charlie behind his ears. He misses his bulldog, Mia. Just being able to pet a dog, it s so therapeutic.
