Girl Begs Professor To Let Her Bring Dog To Class To Save It From Hurricane, And His Response Wins Internet

Jessica Lewis recently decided to evacuate her college town of Statesboro, Georgia and head for home near Atlanta before Hurricane Irma arrived. There were only two problems. One was that she had a class to attend, and the other was that she had her dog Luna with her, and so she did the only thing a dog lover would do: she wrote to her professor and asked him if it would be OK to bring Luna to class with her.

“Dr Kennedy, my name is Jessica Lewis,” she wrote in a letter that’s since gone viral. “I realize the answer to this is probably no, but I thought that you might actually be a cool enough professor to say yes, and so I figured it was worth a shot. Can I bring my dog to class today?” How did the professor respond? Scroll down to find out. (h/t: dodo)

    Even though Luna kept her eye on her Jessica, she clearly had time to make new friends from other students in the class. That alone made it all worth while. ;D

    yeah I know, I am glad the professor let Luna come to class and help out, but I cringed at that manipulative line and from his response I don't think he appreciated it either.
