College Fix listed some of the activities for students across America: “Therapy dogs and miniature horses. Coloring books. Massages. Even Fortnite tournaments.”

“Campuses such as the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and Michigan State are just two out of many that recently offered the friendly puppers to pet and relax with in between study sessions,” they added.
