I was reading DogFancy and found below article very interesting. I guess Ross is the first dog that received honorary alumnus.

Ross, a 5-year-old yellow labrador retriever, stayed by Christina Fegley's side while she attended college classes, lived in dorm rooms, and stood in dinner lines.
Ross, a 5-year-old yellow labrador retriever, stayed by Christina Fegley's side while she attended college classes, lived in dorm rooms, and stood in dinner lines.
So when Fegley, who has muscular dystrophy, graduated earlier this year from Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, Pa., the school's administrators wanted to do something special for her faithful service dog.
At the annual luncheon for graduates, Ross was named an honorary alumnus of the Class of 2008, with all the rights and privileges such as permanent library card, a bone-shaped life-time pass to athetics events and a collar with a tag that reads, Ross '08, SU Alum.
