NEWBURGH- With the end of the semester only days away and finals looming, a group of therapy dogs offered a stress-relieving break on Wednesday, April 30 to busy Mount Saint Mary College students.
According to research, spending time with, petting, or observing animals can reduce heart rate and blood pressure and lower stress.
The dogs were provided by Hudson Valley Paws for a Cause. At the college, the popular event has evolved into a tradition. This event took place at the Mount’s Kaplan Family Library and Learning Center, which co-sponsored the event with Counseling Services, Disability Services, and the Student Government Association.
