Stressed Students? Try puppy therapy

Sure, there are more pressing problems in the world, but it's easy for students to get stressed at the end of term with finals looming, and their mental health can suffer.

Students at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia have a way to relieve their stress: "The Puppy Room". Having a "furry friend" is said to relieve anxiety and reduce blood pressure.

The idea has been a hit with students and now university students across Canada are requesting the same from their institutions.
