An 8-year-old therapy dog named Moose is officially a very good boy, after he was awarded an honorary doctorate in veterinary medicine from Virginia Tech on Friday.
The Labrador retriever, an 8-year-old therapy dog at the Cook Counseling Center, received an honorary doctorate in veterinary medicine on Friday. Moose, who has been with Virginia Tech since 2014, is one of the school's four therapy animals and ambassadors for mental health awareness. Along with attending football games, club events, and new student orientations, Moose also helps students cope with anxiety, trauma and other mental health issues.
One pawsome pupAll four of the school's therapy dogs are beloved by the student body -- but Moose, who received Virginia Veterinary Medical Association's Animal Hero Award in 2019, is quite special."The students here talk a lot about how Moose has broken down the stigma around mental health care on campus," Davis said."Veterinarians are unfortunately a very challenged population. They have high rates of suicide, and this profession can be quite disturbing.
