Apparently, warm cookies, coloring books, Play-Doh-- and
even puppies-- aren’t enough to get snowflakes through the stress of final
exams, term papers and other end-of-semester assignments. The State University
of New York at Plattsburgh recently brought a small herd of miniature donkeys
to campus to help students cope with the otherwise unbearable pressure of
schoolwork.
Ken
Besaw of Thera-Pets, the New York-based organization that runs the “animal
assisted visitation program,” told a local ABC news affiliate: “Spend 10
minutes with them. You’ll chill right out.” A video shows the students petted,
played and cavorted with the therapy donkeys, horsing around to their hearts
content.
Therapy
donkeys are the perfect symbol of today’s Democratic Party. They don’t help you
achieve or produce, conceive or create, inspire or elevate, understand or
accept. But they do make many people feel better about themselves, especially when
they are acting like immature jackasses.
