Marla Mahar, a business instructor at OSU, is making a significant impact through her involvement with Pete’s Pet Posse alongside her golden retriever, Oakley. In late April, they participated in the inaugural P3 Symposium, an event dedicated to showcasing the profound effects of pet therapy within the university community.
During the symposium, Mahar and Oakley welcomed attendees, embodying the warm and healing spirit that pet therapy offers. The event aimed to raise awareness about the benefits of incorporating therapy animals into various settings, particularly in educational environments.
Mahar shared insights on how interactions with therapy dogs like Oakley can alleviate stress, enhance emotional well-being, and foster a sense of connection among students and faculty. The positive feedback from participants highlighted the growing recognition of the vital role that pets play in supporting mental health and creating a nurturing atmosphere on campus. This initiative not only strengthens the bond between humans and animals but also emphasizes the broader significance of compassion and care in educational settings.
