Students stressed by the pressures of finals week found some slobbery but welcome relief recently near the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning. Several certified therapy dogs from the Western Pennsylvania Humane Society relaxed, licked, wagged and in general enjoyed getting attention from students whose minds were otherwise burdened by upcoming tests. The dogs have been visiting the university every Tuesday evening to provide emotional therapy and stress relief.
