The kissing booth served as the perfect way for the puppies to give everyone love all while raising funds to help Paws for a Cause continue its mission.  

���They���re service pups in training and we���re giving them the chance to have an awesome future,��� said McKenzie Savage, director of programming for Paws for a Cause.  

Paws for a Cause is a student organization on campus that works with Paws 4 Ability to train service dogs who will then go on to be placed with a veteran or child with disabilities. The club also focuses on educating people about service dogs and their importance.

���It���s getting a chance for our dogs to get some love as well as interacting with a lot of different kinds of people, it's really important for them to get used to that,��� Savage said.

The kissing booth visitors felt the love as they petted the puppies.  

���I just needed some puppy love on this school day,��� Annie White, freshman aeronautical studies major, said.

Students missing their dogs at home found comfort in spending a little time with the puppies at the kissing booth.

���I really miss my dog at home, and I live far away so I can't really go see her,��� Kellar Lambeau, sophomore architecture major, said.  ���I really needed some puppy time.���
