VT Therapy Dogs
Have you met Josie, Derek, and Epcot?
Local celebrities themselves, our three therapy dogs are eager to welcome you to Cook Counseling and appear at many of our outreach events across campus. They even have their own “pawfice” hours (see below), Instagram page, and weekly walks with their handlers, who are therapists at Cook Counseling through our Animal Assisted Therapy program. They would love to meet you!
