Oh, awesome: Last week I read about little Moshe Cavalin, the 10-year-old who’s a sophomore in college already… This week I read about a one-year-old dog puppy earning a BACHELOR DEGREE from Ohio Northern University?! RUFKM?

Ada, Ohio (AP) - 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. [According to ONU's website, he can also jump through hoola hoops, shake hands, bow, and do "puppy" push-ups. OMG!]

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

What, are we just passing diplomas out like candy now? Is there special dog tuition? A normal dog training school wasn’t good enough for Zeeke? Call me insensitive, but I am kind of insulted. Sorry, Zeeke, I’m sure you’re a good boy. I just have issues with dogs getting degrees. You’re s’posed to be the one that ate my homework, remember?
