IN A FLASH: Valentines and Canines

Collar Scholars puppy kissing booth 2026.

 

Valentine's Day arrived a day early on Risman Plaza with a puppy kissing booth from Collar Scholars. The booth was built by Kent State building trades students for Collar Scholars - a group of Kent State students who raise future service dogs for Canine Companions

Four-legged ambassadors from Canine Companions have supported Kent State students in times of loss, giving comfort when it was needed most. Collar Scholars used the booth to spread awareness - and puppy love - for Valentine's Day.
