Looks like some lady has a really intelligent dog. So intelligent, it has its own law degree.

Actually, Skeeter is a helper dog for an injured woman named Amy Jones, and when Jones received her law degree, the dog received a one as well.

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.

Born and raised in Alaska, Jones had attended California State University at Chico. After months of rehabilitation and with Skeeter's help, Jones returned to school and received her undergraduate degree in construction management in 2005.
