WACO, Texas – When Amy Jones received her law degree from Baylor University, her playful service dog Skeeter got the same honor.
As Jones got her juris doctor degree on Saturday, Skeeter received an honorary law degree.
“Amy has busted through brick walls, and Skeeter has been faithfully by her side every step of the way,” law school Dean Brad Toben said. “Skeeter has become a part of our community and part of our family here at the law school.”
Jones has used a wheelchair since a 2002 skiing accident left her a quadriplegic. Two years after the accident, she was paired with Skeeter, a black Labrador retriever.
