Shola, a four month-old puppy, has been employed in a school in the UK to help students deal with exam stress and calm them down. The Irish setter arrived at Tavistock College in Plymouth in England when she was just nine-weeks old. The puppy is said to have an ability to work out if students are stressed, and can help calm them down, the Daily Mirror reported. She is on hand during exam season to greet nervous students and also attends staff briefings. “From the very first she has loved her work - she will trot jauntily down the corridor, tail wagging, looking out for children, and staff, to make a fuss of her, Plymouth Herald, headteacher Sarah Jones, said. “She has an adoring public and she expects everyone to love her,” she said.
