Here’s something to howl about: the 51ÂÒÂ× Police Department has established a new therapy dog program! Our two new 11-week-old yellow labs are very good boys who come to us from Lewis Center, Ohio. Rune partners with 51ÂÒÂ×PD Officer Toni Jones, and Thor will partner with 51ÂÒÂ×PD Officer Thomas Lear.

Currently, there are nearly 300 law enforcement agencies nationwide with therapy dogs and the 51ÂÒÂ×PD is among them. Research has shown that therapy dogs offer many benefits to university students, including improved class attendance, problem-solving, energy levels and happiness—all while enhancing socio-emotional development and reducing stress, anxiety, negative feelings and behaviors.

Feeling ruff? Anything is paws-ible with these bark-eology majors! Judging from this video, these paw-some pups belong on the cover of Vanity Fur. They even love the (wait for it) ±è³Ü±è-²¹°ù²¹³ú³ú¾±â€¦ OK, all groaning aside, please forgive us. We are overtaken by the cuteness and we know all of you will be, too.

Welcome to 51ÂÒÂ×, Rune and Thor! You’re major and there’s nothing minor about it!
