A blind student at the University of Cádiz used to take his guide dog, Idena, with him to lectures. Now they've both graduated.
As students were studying social work and were accustomed to seeing the dog in the halls while studying for their degree, so they decided to include him in the class graduation photos, right alongside his owner, Arturo Diaz Benitez.

In another photograph, included top, the black Labrador can be seen, sporting a mortarboard just like the other graduating students.
According to The Local, the idea went down well on Twitter, with one person commenting, "I bet this dog attended more lectures than most students!"
Another tweeted: "Magnificent. Ten out of ten for the University of Cádiz."

According to The Local this is not the first time a canine has appeared in a graduation photo in Spain. Apparently history graduates from the University of Santiago de Compostela, who studied there from 2007 to 2012, also posed alongside a dog friend in their graduation photograph.
