I think it's safe to say that our animal friends do more for us than we do for them, and they don't even have good cable or WiFi service in most cases.
So when we have the chance to pat a furry friend on the back, we should take it!
We take you now to South Orange, New Jersey, just 14 miles from New York City, where a young lady named Grace Mariani was graduated the other from Seton Hall University, and as he has been all along, her service dog, Justin, was there at her side.
School President President Joseph Nyre, handing out the sheepskins, awarded Ms Mariani her B.S. in education, magna cum laude.
And then! The crowd came alive when Nyre handed a diploma right to Justin's maw. The doggie diploma was in a white cylinder and Justin happily glanced at Ms Mariani as he clamped on it (but not too hard.)
He wagged his tail and his human smiled really widely as they left the stage together. The crowd cheered, and some of them were said to have barked.
Justin is 6 years old, a mix of yellow Lab and golden retriever, and unlike most of the other graduates of Seton Hall, he did not skip a single class for the entire four years.
Ms Mariani is from Mahwah, NJ, and will work in elementary and special education.
I know who's going to be right there in the classroom with her! Good boy!
