Since a dog is “Man’s Best Friend,” it’s no surprise that Santa would be sure to include time for a visit with some friendly pups in his crowded schedule during this special time of year! And so, Santa indeed showed-up last Friday, December 6, at the festive display that features a variety of holiday decorations on the ground floor at the main east entrance to Lynn Hall, to be met by an enthusiastic troupe of Canine Educators who seemed all too anxious to share their wish lists! Plenty of other furry friends of PVM students, staff and faculty got in on the act as well!
