were struggles as Chi Chi learned to trust people again, but with time, Chi Chi found peace and joy with her new family. “She exemplifies resilience and forgiveness and willingly shares her love and compassion in abundance,” Howell has said. “Her sweet-tempered and gentle spirit opens people’s hearts and her perceptive spirit senses where her love is needed.” Chi Chi’s vet has called her a “miracle dog,” referring both to the fact that she survived losing all her legs and to the joy she brings to the world. Today, Chi Chi is a registered therapy dog, offering strength, love, and support to those who need it most. She visits VA hospitals, assisted living facilities, and children with disabilities. To celebrate her journey of survival, courage, and love, Chi Chi was honored with the American Humane Hero Dog Award in 2018.

In our darkest moments, it can be hard to believe joy can be found again. But one amazing dog proves that no matter what happens, through love and patience, we can make the world a better place.

A DISCIPLINARY HEARING Not Something to Ignore When you’re pursuing a university-level education, you’ve got a lot on your plate. You’re still young, but you’re starting to feel the weight of responsibility. You’re no longer a child, but you still might not feel like a full-fledged adult.

MARC’S TIPS AND TRICKS The trend these days is for students to face significant penalties for relatively minor offenses. If you or someone you love is facing administrative charges for misconduct — academic or personal — it can have serious consequences. Don’t expect a slap on the wrist, and don’t wait until after your disciplinary hearing to contact an attorney.
