URBANA -- Some students took a break from finals with the help of some four-legged friends.

Honey and Same are two therapy dogs from the Champaign-Urbana Canine Connection. Their owners brought them to the Undergraduate Library on the University of Illinois campus on Monday afternoon. Students took turns enjoying a little bit of puppy love during finals week.

This is the second time the dogs have stopped in on campus this semester. Last time, hundreds of students and staff members came to see them. Organizers said they hope to have more events like this in the future.
