With exam season just around the corner for many of the students at Robert Gordon University, students were given the chance to relieve some stress by petting a pooch.
RGU Students’ Union teamed up with Canine Concern Scotland Trust to offer furry therapy to students and help calm nerves in the build-up to coursework deadlines and exams.
The Union’s offices at their Garthdee campus were transformed into a dog-petting room on today (Thursday, November 26) where students got the chance to unwind and play with one of the six dogs being lent to the university.
The university’s Mental Wellbeing Society is behind the event with the aim of promoting awareness among RGU students and challenging the stigmas associated with mental health conditions.
