Puppy playtime helps students cope with stress

Mount Royal University in Calgary has teamed up with Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF), to help students combat the stress of exam time by filling the hallways with puppies. 

"We know that being with a pet, just petting a dog or just being close to an animal helps to reduce stress," said health eduction coordinator, Charmeme Brewer. "So we though, let's bring them on campus and see if it helps students just even for a few minutes forget about their exams."
