Students have shown their appreciation for the Hugs & Pups teams in various and creative ways. Here are a few of them.
Y’all are my favorite thing about going to Carolina!

An artistic student who was hanging out near Blue the Great Dane‘s Hugs & Pups team sketched him in Spring 2022 and we all love it! It lives on Noel-Beth’s refrigerator. If anyone knows who the artist is, we’d love to give credit where credit is due.

A white van is driving by, with "Happy Heart Day" written on the back window, a fairly large brown dog's head (hence his name, Big Dog) with his head sticking out of the middle window smiling, above a sign with the HAPPEE logo. In the front passenger's seat is a man in a face mask, waving to the camera.](https://happeenational.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/CarolinaWeek3-1024x580.jpg)
