Hello everyone, I am a high school student who loves learning, thinking and sharing. Today is 520. There will be many "warm men" and "warm women" today, but confessions are not limited to lovers and relatives. We are here today. Let's talk - special dog "therapy dogs".

In the past few days, the news about a therapy dog ​​in the United States getting a doctorate has been on the hot search. Many netizens are dissatisfied with this. I have been studying hard for so many years and dare not touch the doctorate. How can a dog be able to do it? Successfully earned a Ph.D.? What is the topic of the thesis? How did you defend?

In fact, this dog received an honorary doctorate of veterinary medicine from Virginia Tech University, the focus is on "honor", the reason why the university did this is to express its respect and gratitude to this amazing therapy dog. The doctor's dog, named "Moose," has been working since 2014 at the Cook Counseling Center at Virginia Tech, where he is one of the school's four therapy animals and ambassadors for promoting mental health.

In recent years, through his unique temperament, Moose has participated in more than 7,500 psychological consultations, helping more than 1,000 students get out of anxiety and other psychological barriers. Such a brilliant performance may be better than many professional psychological consultants. It really shows us what is called "people are not as good as dogs".

Maybe everyone has heard of guide dogs, search and rescue dogs, etc., but rarely heard of therapy dogs before. With the continuous development of medicine, dogs, as good friends of human beings, gradually play more and more roles in the medical field. In the United States, there is growing evidence that dogs can treat and detect some diseases. For example, a trained dog can judge whether a person has prostate disease by sniffing human urine, and the accuracy of the judgment is very high.

In addition, dogs have also been found to be very healing in the field of psychotherapy. As a companion pet, dogs have a strong insight into human psychology. Through the company of dogs, the anxiety of some mentally ill patients can be alleviated.

For more than a year, these 14 "dog doctors" of various breeds have been with teachers and students every day. Students can pet them at any time, eat lunch together, and some dogs will follow them in classrooms. "They really bring a sense of security and a lot of comfort to the kids," said Douglas Secondary School teacher Lerner.

With this special audience, people no longer seem to be afraid to read.
