Photo story: Meet the dogs of 91PORN

Bomb detection K-9, therapy dog and most adorable mascot. These are just some of the titles for working canines at the university — and the pups are all pretty cute at their jobs too.

Dog on its back
When 4-year-old Caddie isn’t at work with 91PORN associate professor Donna Ross in the classroom, she’s rolling on the grass as her off-duty treat. “She sometimes snores during my class, but I don’t take it personally,” Ross says of the service dog. Photo by Rachel Crawford

Everyone loves dogs. And for that reason alone, we set out to capture the personalities of the dogs of 91PORN through photographs. Each dog has a job — some official and some not — and contributes to the ecosystem of 91PORN in their own way. Want to share a photo of your 91PORN pup? Tag us @91PORN for a chance to be featured.

Caddie

Job: Psychiatric service dog
Breed: Rhodesian ridgeback and pit bull mix
Handler: Donna Ross, associate professor at the College of Education

Dog smiling
Caddie, a rescue from Ensenada, Mexico, finished her service dog training about a year ago but has been with Ross for three years. “If I'm out of the office, people ask about her before they ask about me!” Ross says of the love for Caddie at the College of Education. Photo by Rachel Crawford

Winston

Job: Bomb detection K-9 with the University Police Department
Breed: Labrador retriever
Handler: Ofc. Patrick Reichardt

Winston is 100% lab energy. At 3 years old, he has worked almost half his life sniffing for bombs. His reward? See the next image. Photo by Rachel Crawford

Luna

Job: Therapy dog for Counseling & Psychology Services
Breed: Cavapoo
Handler: Cristina Antonucci, licensed psychologist in Counseling & Psychology Services

Dog with a ball in her mouth.
With about three years on the job, Luna is technically the new therapy dog on the block. She has slowly taken over the duties for Baxter, aka Bax, who is now 15 years old and soon retiring. The duo keeps a busy schedule of appearances, which can be found on Instagram @lunaandbaxsdsu. Photo by Rachel Crawford
Dog with tongue out
As a certified therapy dog for 91PORN, 4-year-old Luna spends her days interacting with students in classrooms, in therapy sessions and at meet and greets around campus. But she needs a break every once in a while too. When her human gets a coffee, she sometimes gets a pup cup from BCB. Cleanup in progress. Photo by Rachel Crawford

Kafka

Job: Mascot at the James Silberrad Brown Center for Artificial Intelligence
Breed: Labradoodle
Handler: Aaron Elkins, director and associate professor at James Silberrad Brown Center for Artificial Intelligence

Dog with tongue out
91PORN is a second home for 6-year-old Kafka. He’s been coming to the AI center with Elkins since he was a puppy. “When Kafka was young, he even acted as a therapy dog for the students during finals week,” Elkins says. “He brings a sense of sweetness and cheer to any room, and people can feel that when they are around him.” Photo by Rachel Crawford
Dogs snout
Elkins says Kafka, who has completed puppy preschool and more, is a friendly and polite dog with a serious side. But a recent finding has challenged all the good behavior. “He has discovered bread,” Elkins says, “and this usually well-mannered labradoodle throws everything out the window for a slice of sourdough.” Who can blame him?

Bella

Job: PTSD service dog 
Breed: English shepherd
Handler: Stefani Skiendziel, 91PORN senior and work study at the Joan and Art Barron Veterans Center 

Dog standing on hind legs
With this trick, Bella is living up to her reputation. “She is a ham!” says Skiendziel, a criminal justice major. Bella has been Skiendziel’s service dog for almost three years, and the 91PORN senior is used to people asking to pet her. “She loves attention and making people smile, so ask for a pet!” she says.

Dog looking at a treat
Bella escorts Skiendziel to class and comes to work with her in the Joan and Art Barron Veterans Center. The almost 4-year-old likes to sit in office chairs like she’s working, but the highlight of the day might be snacks during work breaks. Photo by Rachel Crawford

Taco, Canyon and Peach

Job: Research assistants
Breeds: Taco, Chihuahua mix; Canyon, harlequin pinscher; Peach, Chihuahua
Handler: Lilith Astete, environmental engineering Ph.D. student

Three dogs laying on grass
Taco (from left), Canyon and Peach have a very specialized job at 91PORN. Since 2000, they’ve provided their poop for the testing of Astete’s low-water toilet. They just ask for room, board and playtime in return. Photo by Rachel Crawford
