With the end of the semester quickly approaching, every college student can relate to that extremely stressful panic when they realize how many assignments they need to finish, on top of final exams. But there is one solution to all of these negative feelings that never fails to put a smile on people’s faces – puppies.

Using dogs for animal therapy is probably my favorite thing ever, because it is so effective and enjoyable for everyone involved. It’s amazing how even just looking at puppies can brighten people’s mood and help alleviate stress.

So in the midst of finals season, when every college student is on the verge of a breakdown, I give you puppies, because they make the world a much better place.

1. Puppies are fantastic because they love to play with each other, and they get extremely excited while doing so.

2. But, they don't discriminate; they like to play with other animals too. This puppy just wants to play with a cat.

3. This little puppy desperately wants to be a duckling.

4. And all this puppy wants to do is play with his baby human.

5. This adorable puppy desperately wants to play with his own reflection.

6. Playing with water makes this puppy extremely excited.

7. And this little puppy finds it entertaining to try to play with his human's camera.

8. After a long day of playing, this puppy finds comfort in being bathed by his human.

9. And, at the end of a hard day being a puppy, they love to cuddle with their humans (which makes us very, very happy as well).

Finals season sucks, a lot. But knowing that puppies exist in the world, and are always happy, makes it slightly more bearable.
