to when service dogs in training visited Johnson Library on the Marietta campus!

The dogs and their puppy raisers stopped by last month for some real-world practice. They got lots of attention from staff and students, and we were delighted to host them.

Thank you to the pups from Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind and America's VetDogs for stopping by! 🐾♥️
