Professor Cradles Student’s Dog For Entire Lecture

Students were greeted with an unusual sight last Monday morning when their biology professor, Dr. John Mazle, cradled a peer’s dog for the entire class. Alisha Barden, a sophomore management major, told The Mugdown that she decided to bring her seven-year-old chihuahua Betsy to class because she thought it would be fun. Barden clarified that Betsy is a pet and not a service animal. 

“Betsy’s pretty chill,” Barden said. “I mean, she barks at most men, but I didn’t think it’d be too disruptive to the class.” According to Barden, Mazle took Betsy from her when he noticed the dog peeing on the backpack of the student seated next to her. He proceeded to cradle the dog for the rest of the lecture, pausing for photo opportunities so students could document the altruistic event on social media.

Onlookers reported that the professor struggled to contain the writhing Betsy in his arms during his lecture. Betsy allegedly even snapped at his fingers when he gestured towards the cladogram projected on the screen. 

“Yeah, I’ll probably bring her again,” Barden said.
