A CANADIAN university has created a "puppy room" to help stressed students calm their nerves.
Dalhousie University's student union is opening a puppy room next week where students can spend time with dogs, including Roc, a loveable St Bernard.
"They can come in and sit down, they can pat the dogs, talk to the dogs," St Bernard owner Mark Grant told CBC News.
"That's our hope ... that the dogs will bring as much comfort to the individuals that we're going to meet as the individuals will bring to the dogs."
The puppy room idea came from Montreal's McGill University, which has a similar dog therapy program.
According to CTV News the animals will be provided by Therapeutic Paws Canada, which usually brings them to nursing homes, hospitals and schools.
Dalhousie is bringing several kinds of dogs to campus, including a Labradoodle, a Sheltie, a Papillon and a Golden Retriever.
"It's a great idea," said Dalhousie student Michael Kean, who proposed the puppy room idea.
"There's no downfall about therapy dogs.
"Students, we're stressed out, don't know what to do, and they're fluffy. It comes down to that."
