EIU Students Say Therapy Dogs Ease Stress of Finals Week

Students at Eastern Illinois University are getting relief from the stress of finals week with the help of several therapy dogs.  A group called All Things Pawsitive is bringing dogs to the campus in Charleston this week.  Students say spending time with the dogs - even for a few minutes - helps take away the edge of finals stress.  This is the third year the group has brought dogs to campus, free of charge.
