Biomedical sciences sophomore Renata Hernández (from left), nursing freshman Marlen Lara, and medical laboratory technician sophomore Sofia Aguiar pose at a photo booth while holding dogs and wearing props last Thursday at the Casa Bella student housing complex on the Brownsville campus during the De-Stress Dog Fest. The event allowed students to pet and play with dogs from the Isabel Y. Garcia Animal Shelter as a way to relieve stress.
