The college's women's basketball team has it's own golden retriever, Charley, that holds a prestigious title, 'Director of Pawsitivity'.
There can be a lot of so-called "dog days" for college athletes, and at Montclair State University that phrase rings very true but in a different manner.
The college's women's basketball team -- the Red Hawks -- has it's own golden retriever for the over the past two years, Charley."She always brings good vibes especially before a game," said sophomore Amanda Castro. "Good mascot, great energy."Under the title, Charley is around team practices, provides emotional support and offers a comforting presence.
"One of the things that we were seeing was how much joy she brought when she comes," added Montclair University Women's head basketball coach Karen Harvey. "Loves the training room. Everybody just smiled." When the tougher drills begin, Charlie gets to hang out with the coaches. A lot of the players having dogs, it relaxes them and takes the stress away.
"She definitely gives you someone to chase after because she's usually in front so she's definitely a good target," said junior Bella Orlando.----------
