I attended a college before I transferred to Tech that had a program similar to this. I could not find anything on it but basically for a day, students could rent a dog or a puppy for the whole day or even for just an hour. This not only allowed for the dogs to get attention and love but it also helped reduce stress students had and put them in happier moods. Also, because the weather was nice outside it got students outside and being active so that they could play with the dogs. It also creates an environment for students to be more open to the idea of adopting from a shelter later on in life when they may want to get a pet of their own.
