Cooper The Therapy Dog Arrives!

Harvard Medical School now has a therapy dog.  His name is Cooper writes Christine Junge and Ann MacDonald.  Cooper works "to help students, staff, and faculty members who need a little mid-day stress relief. Harvard employees can spend up to 30 minutes at a time with Cooper by showing their ID at the reference desk. Library visitors check Cooper out, the same way that they’d check a book out—except that he stays in his safe area at all times."
