Our four-legged friends—they’re just like us!

Illustrator John Cuneo explores the hearts and minds of dogs and their professors.

Down By Law 
The Hanover PO once played dogcatcher after Lulu broke free from professor Brendan Nyhan. She now wears a GPS collar.

Drooling on the Green 
For Rex, Nothing beats slurping an ice cream snack from Dan & Whit’s with professor Pino Audia. What a sweet treat!

 

A Nose for Politics  
Fern isn’t shy about meeting political dignitaries in D.C. or on campus with Herschel Nachlis' policy class. She once barked at Elizabeth Warren's golden retriever, Bailey, and she greeted former cabinet member Alex Azar ’88 by leaping on him.

False Alarm      
“Is an alarm malfunctioning?” asked concerned colleagues of professor Leslie Butler during a department meeting. Nope, it was only her beabull, Zuzu, whose “chirpy bark” led to the scare.

Sweet Dreams 
It’s okay to sleep in class for Caicos, who nods off as soon as Charles Wheelan ’88 starts lecturing—and wakes precisely when class ends.

“You Are Doin’ Me a Scare”  
Chewie freaks when a suitcase appears: He knows that someone he loves—professor Yusaku Horiuchi—is leaving.
