A puppy petting day will be held at Falmouth University for students to relieve the stress of academic life and make new canine friends.

On the Facebook event's page, organisers said: "Our events have limited availability as keeping the pups happy is our paramount consideration and they can only cuddle so many students in one day.

"We have lots of provisions in place to ensure the puppies come from loving homes and we have a full puppy team, including a vet, present at each event."

At the time of writing, there were 249 people registered as going to the event, with a further 425 interested.

The event will be held at the Falmouth University Woodlane Campus on November 13.
