Every semester a stress ball filled with tests, essays, and final projects sweeps through campus. Every student feels this big pressure of what finals can do to our grades, the worries of borderline grades leading up to test and the uncertainty of many who do not know if they can pull it off.

Here at Tennessee Wesleyan University, once a semester right before finals week, four legged heroes come to cure us of our stress and anxieties. This semester these heroes came in the form of a 10-month-old St. Pyrenees named Agnus and a 11-month-old German Shepherd named Saries.

With their charm and neediness for attention these 4-legged heroes come to give us relief and comfort from the stressors of finals. Cuddling, scratching, and treat feeding are all encouraged by Agnus and Saries when on duty.

As shown above you can see the worry-free environment that these puppies create no matter where they are. It is a good reminder for all of us to take this time that we feel stressed and remind ourselves why we should not worry.

This occurrence happens every semester right before finals week, so take advantage of these furry heroes and Goodluck to all on your finals. Happy winter break and happy holidays!
