There, there, forget the exam stress - come to the puppy room

Puppies have been drafted in to help stressed students cope with exam pressure.

Golden retrievers and Labradors will be placed in a special 'puppy room' at Aberdeen University, North East Scotland, where undergraduates are able to stroke the adorable pooches to help them chill out during the busy assessment period.

Emma Carlen, of the education establishment's students association, said: "Hopefully we can boost students’ health and grades."

This comes after a similar scheme was set up at a Canadian university last year.
