Yesterday afternoon, the always popular therapy dogs paid a visit to campus. Students got a little break from classes, tests and projects by spending a little time with Daisy, Mischief, Penny, and Fitchburg State University Police's own Odin in the Hammond Main Lounge. These therapy dogs were a welcome respite from the stress that comes with the semester's workload. Keep your eyes on University Events for future visits.
