The time is coming when those who live on college grounds are moving back on campus. It is also time to say goodbye to your family and your four-legged friends. What does your dog think when you are packing up your cars to move back to campus?
Where are you going? Every dog will look at their human friends every time they leave the house and wonder where you are going without them or if you will ever come back. If you have a really smart dog they may recognize this behavior and know what is coming. They will know that you will be leaving for a while, but you will come back.
Can I come too? Sadly the answer is no. If only there were some dog-friendly dorm halls out there. That way man's best friend could come chill with you while studying and sleep at the end of your bed at night.
Will you come back? Reassure your dog when your leaving that you will be back. Whether it be next week, next month, or not until the end of the semester. Just imagine the greeting that you are going to get when you come home...
Everyone loves their dogs, and they do not know how much they are missed. Some colleges are aware of this and will have pet therapy days throughout the semester. Its the perfect way to receive some puppy love and relax for a little bit. Stay for a few minutes to a few hours.
