Rice University students will have the opportunity to mingle, de-stress and share hugs with dogs of various breeds during finals week, Dec. 12-14, at the university’s Fondren Library.
The library has asked Houston pet therapy organization Faithful Paws to bring its friendly canines to the first-floor reference collection area of Fondren from 5 to 9 p.m. Dec. 12, from 3 to 9 p.m. Dec. 13 and from 1 to 5 p.m. Dec. 14.
Fondren Library held its first two therapy dog sessions during finals last December and April and received overwhelmingly positive feedback from students, according to library staff members.

All well and good – though I must ask, where are the cats?
