TRU student Jessica plants a Valentine’s Day kiss on the nose of Nikki—a Nova Scotia Dock Toller retriever in the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog program—during the launch of Therapy Thursdays: For the Love of Dogs program on Feb. 14, 2013.

Below is an open letter from Chelsea Corsi, TRU’s Wellness Centre coordinator. In it she addresses the extension of the Therapy Thursdays: For the Love of Dogs program, which will now include April 18 and 25, 2013. The pilot program had originally come to an end on April 11 and had been running every Thursday since Feb. 14 from 10am to 2pm in BMO Student Street.

Good afternoon everyone,

I just wanted to touch base quickly to let you all know that the Therapy Thursdays: For the Love of Dogs program will be continuing for the next 2 Thursdays (18th & 25th, 10am to 2pm), but at the House of Learning First Floor Level.

Because it is exam time and Student Street isn’t quite as busy, we have partnered with the ‘Stress Free Zone’ Elizabeth Rennie in the library has spearheaded. So please drop on by and give a puppy a snuggle!

Thanks and have a wonderful day:)
Chelsea
