Ohio Northern University awards bachelor's degree to canine

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.

If I was an alumni of ONU I would quit giving money to the school immediately. Completely dumb and embarrassing

I think they're barking up the wrong tree with this one.

My younger sister has a fake degree from ONU too. Hers is in musical performance, and I think that she actually gets paid in kibble too...

Congratulations ONU! Look at the great company of higher education institutions you have joined that have also awarded degrees to animals....some, right before they got a visit from a state attorney general's office wanting to talk to them about fraud.

White folk get the degrees, and black folk get picked up for being black.

Pretty ridiculous, but still far less embarrassing than Central State giving an honorary doctorate to Mike Tyson.

"On receiving an honorary doctorate of humanities degree at Central State University in Ohio in 1989, the fighter told his audience: 'I don't know what kind of doctor I am, but watching all these beautiful sisters here, I'm debating whether I should be a gynecologist.'"
