Amadeus is the centre of attention on Doggie Day, a semi-annual event at the Faculty of Law that helps students unwind before exams (all photos by Geoffrey Vendeville)

Students in the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law recently took a pause from their studies to shake paws on Doggie Day, a twice yearly event  held in the spring and fall before exams. 

The faculty’s student health and wellness committee put on the event as part of its stress-busting programming. This year, 20 dogs reported for duty and about 200 students got cuddle time with a canine.

U of T News writer and photographer Geoffrey Vendeville was on hand to capture some of the very good dogs that attended law school for a day.
