Dogs are undeniably some of the purest beings to grace this earth. They bring joy to so many and are perfect comfort tools in times of stress. That's why when finals week rolls around, and just about every student is at supreme heights of stress, lots of colleges and universities hold events on campus that allow students to interact with trained therapy dogs.

It's a great experience and a fantastic break from the hell that classes can become at the end of any given semester, especially for those of us who live on campus and don't have the luxury of having pets of our own to live with.

That being said, why don't we have therapy dogs on campus ALWAYS?

Sure, finals are the worst, but I am stressed 24/7, not just one week of the semester. Do you know how much more chill I'd be if I could have access to a cute, fluffy pup whenever I want?

1. Everybody loves dogs.

Those who don't are either allergic or crazy, and we don't need that kind of negativity in our lives.

2. Dogs are sensitive to emotions.

Oftentimes, people are too self-absorbed to notice when you're feeling off or stressed and then you're left to help yourself on your own. A dog would never not know if you're feeling rough.

3. They're dogs.

Honestly, this should be reason enough. Dogs are just great.

4. They help with more than just stress.

Sadness, anger, happiness, tiredness — a few good dog pats and you're good to go.

5. They have a variety of different temperaments.

Which is perfect for a variety of people. Perhaps a rotation of dogs could be implemented — one week, we could have a gentle soul probably called like Fluffy, the next an energetic pup named Max. Spice things up!

6. There would never be a lack of demand.

People love dogs constantly, not just when finals roll around. I know that I definitely wouldn't mind my tuition dollars to be spent on getting me access to a weekly dog-therapy session.

7. They'd make campus feel even more like a second home.

When I think of home, I think of a place of retreat where I can cuddle up with my pups and take time to decompress from the stresses of daily life. Having campus dogs would bring in an extra factor of coziness and all-around a great way to make students feel comfortable.
