Therapy dogs - would you like to see animals in the workplace or schools if it helps people relieve stress?

Research from the US has found that stressed out students gain greatly from spending time with animals, even preventing some from dropping out.

Should we be using more dogs to help combat stress in students? Maybe we should bring them into workplaces too? Vinny got the views of commentators Niamh Horan and Daniel Barclay.
