This flyer resembles a doctor's prescription notepad on a background of black, gold, and grey pawprints and signed by the "dogtor." The area normally reserved for patient information has been modified to resemble an invitation with text that reads for: your name, date: 12/10 and 12/11r your name, date 12/10 and 12/11, address: Ablah Library - 1st floor - from 10 am to 12 pm. In the space where a doctor would write the name and dose of a medication that they're prescribing to a patient, it reads: dear hooman's boss: this very good hooman is very stressed. Hooman presribed therapy dogs with DSS & Ablah at the library so they can PAWS & Relax. This "prescription" is signed with a black pawprint over text and a line that reads: The "Dogtor." The logos for TRIO Disability Support Services and WSU Libraries (hosting departments) appear at the bottom of the flyer.

Disability Support Services (DSS) at TRIO and the University Libraries are excited to invite you to PAWS & Relax: a Stress Management Workshop during finals week from 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday, Dec. 10 and Wednesday, Dec. 11 on the first floor of the Ablah Library.
