A 2015 study showed that interacting with dogs helps lower college students’ stress and anxiety levels. Meet Ashley Young, a junior at the UNC who currently fosters a black lab along with her roommate Rylie MacKinnon.

The four-month-old lab named Dean will soon become a service dog through Eyes Ears Nose & Paws (EENP). Even if Dean is still training to be one, Ashley has already said many wonderful things about him. According to her, Dean is so therapeutic. She takes Dean outside which gives her a break from school responsibilities. 

Ashley is excited about the impact Dean is going to make in the community one he’s a certified service dog.
