It’s a common thing nowadays to see and hear about university students bringing their emotional support animals to school for the structure and comfort they add to their everyday lives. Two college students in Cabrini University have benefited from the company of their emotional support dogs.

Lexi Douglass is currently a sophomore who resides in Sullivan House. Under the ADA, she is diagnosed with ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Having Harper by her side eases her stress at school. She says that Harper is able to recognize her stress by nudging her to play with him or take him outside for a walk.

On the other hand, Briana Capone is a junior student who lives in West Residence Hall. She has anxiety problems and Chloe helps her deal with them effectively. Capone says, “When I get home from school and it is a really really stressful day she is always just there and I can snuggle with her and she comforts me.”

Douglass and Capone are thankful that Cabrini University allows qualified students to bring their emotional support animals. Capone hopes that more students would be given the privilege to bring their assistance animals on campus.
