弗吉利亚理工给狗博士学位？
Like most universities, Virginia Tech's College of Veterinary Medicine celebrated the class of 2020 with an online commencement ceremony.
和大多数大学一样，弗吉尼亚理工大学兽医学院也在网上举办了毕业典礼来庆祝2020届毕业生的顺利毕业。
But unlike other schools, they included one very good boy in the graduating class: a dog named Moose.
但与其他学校不同的是，他们的毕业班有一个非常优秀的学生:一只叫穆斯的狗。
The Labrador retriever, an 8-year-old therapy dog at the Cook Counseling Center, received an honorary doctorate in veterinary medicine on Friday.
这只拉布拉多寻回犬今年8岁，是库克咨询中心的治疗犬，上周五，它获得了兽医荣誉博士学位。
Moose, who has been with Virginia Tech since 2014, is one of the school's four therapy animals and ambassadors for mental health awareness.
穆斯自2014年以来一直在弗吉尼亚理工大学工作，是该校的四只治疗动物之一，也是心理健康意识大使。
Along with attending football games, club events, and new student orientations, Moose also helps students cope with anxiety, trauma and other mental health issues.
除了参加足球比赛，俱乐部活动，和新生定向，穆斯也会帮助学生处理焦虑，创伤和其他心理健康问题。
The fluffy pup has helped thousands of students and assisted in more than 7,500 counseling sessions, according to his owner, licensed counselor Trent Davis.
据这只毛茸茸的小狗的主人特伦特·戴维斯介绍，它已经帮助了数千名学生，并参与了7500多次心理咨询。
Davis, who has worked at the Cook Counseling Center for 10 years, launched the school's animal-assisted therapy program to provide students with another form of comfort.
戴维斯在库克咨询中心工作了10年，他发起了学校的动物辅助治疗项目，为学生提供另一种形式的安慰。
"Some humans haven't had the best experience with other humans, or even other dogs. In both those cases, Moose provides a very safe and comforting force in the room," Davis told us.
“有些人与其他人类甚至其他狗都没有过最好的经验。在这两种情况下，穆斯都能在房间里提供一种非常安全、舒适的力量，”戴维斯告诉我们。
"These students see Moose as someone who's going to accept them. They don't worry about him judging them."
“这些学生认为穆斯会接受他们。而不是担心他会去评判他们。”
While the coronavirus pandemic has made it difficult for students to visit Moose and the other dogs for therapy sessions, Davis said the center now offers regular open office hours virtually, for one hour three days a week.
尽管新冠病毒疫情使学生们很难去看穆斯和其他狗进行治疗，戴维斯说，该中心现在实际上仍在提供每周3天、每天1小时的正常开放办公时间。
Davis also holds in-person meetings if a student is having a crisis or emergency and asks to see one of the dogs.
如果学生遇到危机或紧急情况，要求见其中一只狗，戴维斯也会召开面对面的会议。
All four of the school's therapy dogs are beloved by the student body -- but Moose, who received Virginia Veterinary Medical Association's Animal Hero Award in 2019, is quite special.
这所学校的四只治疗犬都深受学生们的喜爱，但2019年获得弗吉尼亚兽医协会动物英雄奖的穆斯还是很特别的。
"The students here talk a lot about how Moose has broken down the stigma around mental health care on campus," Davis said. "Veterinarians are unfortunately a very challenged population. They have high rates of suicide, and this profession can be quite disturbing. He has really helped the students and staff at Virginia Tech and has gotten a lot of recognition for that."
“这里的学生都在说穆斯打破了校园心理健康护理的污名。”戴维斯说，“不幸的是，兽医是一个面临很多挑战的群体。他们有很高的自杀率，这个职业可能相当令人不安。他真的帮助了弗吉尼亚理工大学的学生和工作人员，并因此得到了很多认可。””。
Moose has also faced challenges of his own.
穆斯也面临着一些挑战。
A week after his birthday in February, Davis noticed blood in Moose's urine.
在二月份庆祝完生日之后，戴维斯在穆斯的尿液中发现了血迹。
He was later diagnosed with prostate cancer and underwent radiation treatments.
后来，他被诊断出患有前列腺癌，并接受了放疗。
Moose's treatment is ongoing, but he remains his usual happy self, Davis told us.
穆斯仍在治疗中，不过他还是很开心的样子，戴维斯告诉我们说。
For Davis, it has been easy to recognize the incredible impact Moose has had on everyone who turns to him for support.
对戴维斯来说，很容易就能认识到穆斯对每个向他寻求帮助的人产生的不可思议的影响。
"I'll often meet people and they'll be petting him, and all of a sudden they're on the ground, talking in a baby voice," Davis said.
“我经常会遇到一些人，他们会抚摸他，突然他们就会趴在地上，用婴儿的声音说话。”戴维斯说。
"So when people ask, 'How does this dog therapy thing work?' I'm like kind of like this. I have never met you before and now you're sitting one foot away from me petting the dog and talking to me about the meaning of life."
“所以当人们问，'这种狗疗是如何起作用的?“我就像这样解释。我以前从来没有见过你，现在你却坐在离我一英尺远的地方，抚摸着狗，跟我谈论人生的意义。”
Dr. Moose can't do much with his new diploma, but he is looking forward to loads of treats, a swim at the beach and a good ol' tug of war.
穆斯博士拿着他的新文凭做不了什么，但他期待着美食款待，在海滩游泳和一场精彩的拔河比赛。
