Moose Receives Honorary Doctorate

Graduation Dog

Moose is the goodiest of boys and now he has a degree to prove it. 

Moose is a good boy. He is an 8-year old Labrador retriever and he just received an honorary doctorate in veterinary medicine after working as a therapy dog for years at Virginia Tech’s Cook Counseling Center.

Moose was raised at New York’s Guiding Eyes for the Blind, but a medical condition did not allow him to graduate to becoming a guide dog.

As a therapy dog, he provides comfort and a sense of security during individual counseling sessions, helping those suffering.

Moose was presented with his degree in a virtual ceremony, of course.
