ABERYSTWYTH students having a ‘ruff’ time over the exam period are being offered the chance to “pet, play and cuddle” their way through the stress.

Aberystwyth Students’ Union has teamed up with Alpet Poundies Rescue, Llandysul, to bring some much-needed joy to students currently revising for exams.

The ‘Paws for Thought’ event will take place at Aberystwyth Students’ Union Picturehouse between 10.30am and 3pm on Wednesday, 18 January.

An Aberystwyth SU spokesperson said: “Aber SU are proud to be hosting a visit from Alpet Poundies Rescue, who will be bringing some of their rescue dogs along for the day so that you can pet, play and cuddle your way through the stress of the exam period.

“All students and staff of Aberystwyth University are welcome to attend, we just ask that you kindly leave a small donation to Alpet Poundies on your way out as a thank you for their time and to help fund the amazing work that they do in rescuing and re-homing animals.

“We’re wagging our tails with excitement; we look paw-ward to seeing you there.”
