What if a single interaction could change the way you see dogs forever? Love at First Bark is a two-phase experiential event designed to build empathy and awareness towards dogs in urban spaces. The event begins with students creating toys that will be donated to a shelter home, encouraging responsibility and conscious contribution. The second phase allows participants to engage with trained therapy dogs in a safe, guided environment. By replacing fear and misinformation with familiarity and understanding, the event aims to nurture compassion and promote long-term coexistence with street dogs and animals in everyday life.
