Therapy dogs are the closest thing Emory students have to joy in their lives when walking to class. Imagine walking through the ugliest, most stank-ass building on campus wondering why you even signed up for an 8:00 a.m. Ancient Mediterranean Studies class, and then you see it: the most adorable puppy you’ve ever seen in your life. Okay, maybe not the most adorable, but it’s at least the first dog you’ve seen on campus this semester. You and the puppy lock eyes. Everyone knows what’s about to go down. You reach to pet it as it jumps away from its owner, but then the unthinkable happens. The owner pulls back on the leash and says you can’t pet dogs in training. The puppy, recovering from being choked, promptly squats and shits right there in White Hall.
This was not just imagination, however. This was a real story brought to the Spoke by Amanda Jamieson, who claims the incident “really didn’t have an effect on the already shitty smell of White Hall.” When the asshole of an owner was reached for comment, he stated he had to report the accident to his authorities, who decided the puppy needs its own therapy and released it from training. Luckily, Jamieson lives off campus and adopted the puppy, now named Lil Ho, and firmly states that, “her love can’t be restricted by rules.”
