The MIT Puppy Lab is a student-led, initiative aimed at leveraging the stress-relieving effects of animal interaction. Throughout the year the lab hosts on-campus sessions for puppy petting and playing. The lab also hosts special events and, in partnership with Dog B.O.N.E.S. of Massachusetts, offers special therapy-dog workshops on campus. All dog owners are members of the MIT community who wish to share their dogs to benefit others. (Learn more about the Puppy Lab: http://mitpuppylab.tumblr.com/about)

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is an independent, coeducational, privately endowed university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Our mission is to advance knowledge; to educate students in science, engineering, and technology; and to tackle the most pressing problems facing the world today. We are a community of hands-on problem-solvers in love with fundamental science and eager to make the world a better place.
The MIT YouTube channel features videos about all types of MIT research, including the robot cheetah, LIGO, gravitational waves, mathematics, and bombardier beetles, as well as videos on origami, time capsules, and other aspects of life and culture on the MIT campus. Our goal is to open the doors of MIT and bring the Institute to the world through video.
