Zeeke the dog to receive Bachelor's Degree!!!

A well-trained golden retriever will receive a bachelor's degree from Ohio Northern University today along with the rest of the graduating class.

Zeeke, a 1-year-old dog, will earn his bachelor's of science degree in canine companionship. The canine has spent thousands of hours training as a Canine Companion dog as part of a senior's honors project.

ONU President Kendall Baker said he believes this is the first time the university has ever awarded a diploma to an animal.

Zeeke has learned to pull a wheelchair, open doors and retrieve fallen objects.

Canine Companions for Independence places service dogs with people in need for free.
