I went to the Kelvin Smith Library today to join the Therapy dog party. The dog is so CUTE and I touched the dog's hair which is so soft and smoothly. That dog is also very interactive and very willing to be touched. When I touched her, she licked my nose that makes me very impressive. That dog reminds me of my dog. It's a Welsh Corgi and his name is Erbao which is obviously a Chinese name. He is almost 5 years old and when I play the piano, he always stay with me in my home so I miss him so much.

Interacting with the therapy dog offered a moment of genuine relief in the midst of a busy schedule. The experience created a sense of warmth and relaxation that helped me step away from academic pressures, even if only briefly. I was reminded of how strongly animals can influence human emotions through their gentle presence. This encounter also emphasized the importance of taking intentional breaks to maintain both mental and emotional balance. It was such a calming and heartwarming experience—just a few minutes of petting and playing made a big difference in easing stress. Grateful for these moments of comfort and connection. Overall, the visit left me more aware of how simple experiences can play a meaningful role in supporting overall well-being.

After a tiring morning, going to therapy dog event at noon instantly made me feel happy and relaxed. The dog is just so adorable, and just looking at him is really comforting. His fur is super soft, which helps me relieved stress when I touch it. (Yu-Chi Tsui)

The dog was very friendly and super welcome to large amounts of people petting it. It also had quite a bit of health problems, but overall it seemed very patient and smart.

The therapy dog is a Golden Retriever, and the dog can heal our mental health because it is really affectionate and calm. My favorite dog breed is the Golden Retriever because its fur is really soft. In addition, the Golden Retriever is the top 4 smartest dogs in the world. My dream is to keep a Golden Retriever when I am older. Overall, the experience was really great and impressive.

The therapy dog who came to our school today is so adorable! Even though many people surround him, he didn’t seem nervous at all. He stayed calm and friendly when I petted him.

The Therapy Dog Experience was a very valuable event. I was able to see two therapy dogs and although they had the same occupation, their personalities were very different. Both of them were very well behaved while one was more outgoing and the other was more relaxed. The Therapy Dogs helped me relax and draw myself out of the depressive state that I found myself after practice. Therapy Dogs were always at the center of attention but never got overly excited, but stayed calm and allowed themselves to get pet by many people. This experience is a very valuable event as it is another way for students to unwind and relax. Everyone should see the Therapy Dogs next time !! :)

The therapy dog is soooo adorable. Although a lot of people are touching her, she is still very kind and friendly to all people. She makes me want to learn more about therapy dogs.

The dog was so calm, even when a few of us gathered around. When it laid its head on my lap for a second, I forgot all about the essays I needed to finish. It’s small moments like this—warm, simple, no hurry—that make the library feel less like a “work place” and more like a place to breathe.
