The Dogs of Hood

Introducing:

TinTin

Person:
Cherry Liu Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Biology

I sometimes bring TinTin to my classes in HT. Colleagues and students like him a lot, he is very friendly.

Juniper

Person:
Toby Peterson
Library Director

Juni loves to meet the students, give them high-fives, and get some head scratches. The students think she's cute (who wouldn't?) and they enjoy playing with her and giving her treats. They also like to see Juniper's tricks. I don't bring Juniper to work very often but when I do, she works hard and crashes hard when we get home after a long day of work.

Pemi

Person:
Josh Funk
Head Coach, Women's Hockey

Pemi is a 3 year old husky mix! She comes to campus every Friday during the school year.

Reggie

(seen below with the entire Financial Aid team)
Person: Susan W. Erb P’14
Associate Director of Financial Aid

Reggie comes to the office almost daily. His presence relieves stress for both staff and students who visit the office. He has been a welcomed addition. Come visit him!!

Tino

Person:
Laurie Ward
Vice President for Marketing and Communications

Tino walks on campus every day and loves to see the students. He thinks everyone should love on him when he sees them

Soda

Person:
Juliana Cano
Hood College Gear Shop Manager

Soda is very famous at the Gear Shop, and some say he is the store mascot!

Hazel

Persons:
Mallory Huard, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of History and Andrew Campbell, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Counseling

I'm a professor in the History Department and I bring my dog, Hazel, to campus on occasion (maybe once or twice a semester) because she loves to meet people and she brings lots of smiles to my colleagues and students. She is an American pit bull terrier. My partner, Andrew Campbell, is a professor in the Counseling Department, and he also brings her to campus once in a while!

River

Person:
Sue Kolb, Ph.D.
Director of Athletics

My wife, Maureen, and I bring River to campus on weekends. River enjoys cheering on the Blazers...and sometimes growling at opponents!

Sam

Person:
Chris Stromberg, Ph.D.
Professor of Chemistry

Sam likes to take long walks at night, and sometimes we end up walking through Hood. About once a semester, he also comes and visits my students, so he can get lots of pets and attention from them.

Lorelai

Person:
Nathan Reese
Associate Director of Institutional Assessment

I like taking walks around Hood with my wife and my dog, Lorelai. We love watching people’s reactions when she jumps super high to chase a squirrel up a tree on campus.

Ripley

Person:
Charlotte Fahlbush '28

Charlotte is an undergraduate student, and Ripley is their service dog. Service animals play an important part in the educational, professional and personal successes of some students, faculty, and staff.

Opal

Person:
Brenda Schildknecht-Hargett
Lecturer of Thanatology

Princess (RIP)

"I wanted to share that when I was looking into a Certificate program for Thanatology, I participated in the virtual open house at Hood College. It was here I saw you holding Princess in your lap. After the virtual open house, I told my partner about the cuteness of your dog and we both agreed how amazing it is to see others so fond of their animals. Princess became a part of my reasons for choosing Hood's certificate program as well as the compassion that was evident coming from you."
