This dog and its master graduate on same day!

• Even when she assisted patients as part of an internship, the dog was there helping out as well.

Whenever Brittany Hawley went to class, her loyal service dog Griffin was there. If she needed her cellphone, Griffin would fetch it. Even when she assisted patients as part of an internship, Griffin was there helping out as well.

So it's only fitting that when Hawley was honoured for receiving her master's degree in occupational therapy from Clarkson University over the weekend, Griffin was once again at her side - with an honorary diploma of his own.

"I pushed for him to graduate from Day One," Hawley said on Monday. "He did everything I did."
