The struggle to juggle
Background : Cancer survivors face unique challenges in caring for their pets during treatment and recovery, as they attempt to balance their own personal health needs with their pets’ care and well-being. Pets may offer emotional and relational benefits during this period, yet survivors may also experience significant burdens and stress associated with caregiving. Methods : This qualitative study used reflexive thematic analysis to explore cance…
Purpose through partnership
Background : Animal-assisted services (AAS), including therapy, education, and support programs, have become increasingly valued as a resource for improved human physical and emotional health. Despite this growth, little empirical attention has been given to the volunteers who make AAS possible. Understanding what drives their participation, how they internalize their role identity, and how their relationships with their animals contribute to per…
More than companions
Background: Pets are unequivocally considered part of the family and are often regarded as irreplaceable companions or loved ones. Despite evidence demonstrating the essential nature of pets in households, the human-animal bond is often overlooked by oncology and veterinary care teams when working with cancer survivors. This study explored pet-related experiences of cancer survivors, including the benefits, challenges, and unmet needs, as well as…
Animal loss and grief in zoos
Zoo professionals and volunteers frequently face significant emotional strain due to animal losses, yet structured organizational support for processing grief remains limited. This study explores the perspectives of US-based zoo professionals and volunteers on organizational responses to animal-related grief, aiming to identify areas to enhance support and foster a grief-affirming culture. Data were collected through an anonymous online survey wi…
Dog owners’ perceptions and behaviors regarding extreme heat and weather events
Extreme heat and environmental disasters pose significant threats to canine health and welfare. With climate change intensifying these hazards and approximately 59.9 million U.S. households owning dogs, understanding owner perceptions and behaviors regarding heat-related illness (HRI) and disaster preparedness is crucial. This study investigated U.S. dog owners’ knowledge of HRI risk factors, their preventative measures, and emergency preparednes…
Veterinary end-of-life mobile practitioners
A growing specialty within veterinary medicine is end-of-life (EOL) care, including EOL mobile practice. EOL care is a broad term referring to euthanasia services, as well as hospice and palliative care for terminally-ill patients. This study was designed to better understand how EOL mobile veterinarians feel about their work, including the benefits and challenges, their reasons for choosing this career, and their levels of professional fulfillme…
Identity-related stressors and human-animal bonds
LGBTQ+ emerging adults frequently face stressors that heighten their risk of maladaptive coping behaviors, including substance use (SU). This study explores relationships between stressors associated with gender identity and expression (discrimination, rejection, and victimization), human-animal bonds (pet attachment and comfort derived from pets), and SU behaviors (nicotine use, cannabis use, and co-use of nicotine and cannabis) in 203 LGBTQ+ em…
Dog training-related guilt
While professional organizations advocate for positive reinforcement in dog training, many owners continue to use aversive methods, potentially creating guilt when their practices deviate from recommended approaches. Similar to parental guilt in child discipline, dog owners may experience negative emotions when resorting to punishment-based training techniques. This study examined the prevalence and predictors of dog training-related guilt among …
Pet companionship and binge drinking in the context of identity-related adversity
Background : Emerging adulthood (ages 18–25) is marked by developmental transitions, increased autonomy, and identity exploration. It is also a period of elevated risk for health-compromising behaviors, including binge drinking. LGBTQ+ emerging adults face higher rates of binge drinking, largely attributable to identity-related adversity such as discrimination and victimization. Companion animals may offer emotional support and mitigate the impac…
Pets and politics
Pet ownership is widespread in the United States, yet little research has explored the relationship between pet ownership and political views. Given recent political discourse, particularly narratives and stereotypes pertaining to “childless cat ladies,” this study investigates how dog and cat ownership may correlate with political affiliation, views on abortion, and voting intentions for the 2024 US Presidential election. An anonymous, cross-sec…
Three’s company? Examining the association between dog ownership and intimacy, jealousy, and satisfaction in romantic couples
Background : Dogs in North American households are increasingly seen as integral parts of the family. Yet, limited research has been conducted exploring how dog ownership affects romantic relationships. To explore these dynamics, we examined the association of dogs with romantic relationship elements using work-family conflict, resource allocation, attachment, and family systems theories. Methods : An online cross-sectional survey was conducted w…
Canine companions and the human–animal bond as a bipartisan bridge for support of homelessness services
Background: Americans are deeply attached to their pets, and owning a dog has been shown to provide numerous emotional, social, and physical benefits to owners, especially for people experiencing homelessness (PEH). Despite research indicating that both PEH and their pets benefit from staying together, few studies have explored how the public perceives these individuals. Since public opinion can influence policies and resource distribution, this …
The role of pets in human and social service provisions
Introduction: Pet ownership is common in the United States, yet companion animals are rarely considered in healthcare and social service systems. Although pets can enhance wellbeing and provide social and emotional support, they may also present barriers to care. Individuals may delay or forgo medical treatment, housing, or social services due to concern for their pets, particularly in the absence of temporary pet care options or pet-inclusive se…
Integrating animal cruelty exposure into person-centered models of childhood adversity
Future research should test whether including animal cruelty in person-centered models of adversity improves identification of high-risk subgroups, and explore how such inclusion can inform multispecies approaches to violence prevention and intervention
“Childless cat ladies” and the 2024 US presidential election
Introduction : This study, part of a larger research project assessing the political views of people with pets (dogs and cats), investigates the political views and life satisfaction of women without children who own cats. The research aims to provide insights into this group’s perspectives on current issues, including abortion rights and voting intentions for the 2024 US presidential election. Methods : A cross-sectional online survey was conduc…
Exploring the impact of dogs on the human-cat relationship in private homes
Despite the growing numbers of dogs and cats cohabiting in US households, little research has focused on the influence of dogs on the human-animal bond of their feline roommates. The present study investigated whether cohabiting with a dog has an impact on the human-cat bond and the ways in which cats interact with humans. Based on existing knowledge of the differences between human-dog and human-cat interactions, we predicted that cats who have …
The impact of owner personality traits and cat lifestyle decisions on cat-related guilt
Introduction: The current study aimed to expand current knowledge on cat-related guilt beyond work cat conflict and guilt about cat parenting to determine the influence of owner’s personality traits, choices regarding their cat’s lifestyle, and cat-related guilt factors. Additionally, we sought to assess potential predictors of anxiety and depression to determine the contributions of cat-related guilt, owner personality traits, and social compens…
Zoo professionals and volunteers in the U.S
Our findings suggest that many ACHPs are struggling with burnout, anxiety, depression, and low rates of professional fulfilment and perceived organizational support. We recommend that zoos develop organizational plans that foster a culture which normalizes and validates grief/loss experiences and is proactive in responding to animal loss, related trauma, and other occupational stressors. The results of this research demonstrate the need for syste…
The Loss of a Service Dog Through Death
The purpose of this research was to explore how service dog partners experience the death of their service dog. Twenty-five partners who had lost a service dog self-selected from those who participated in a larger quantitative study. The quantitative study consisted of an online, anonymous survey targeting service dog handlers who had lost a dog within the last five years. Directed content analysis was used to identify prevalent themes. Results d…
Pet Death and Owners’ Memorialization Choices
An increasing number of people view their pets as family members and the death of a pet often induces a grief reaction of comparable severity to the loss of a significant human relationship. Yet, despite similar levels of grief, the death of a pet typically does not involve similar rituals that allow owners to express their grief. This study was designed to better understand how people memorialize their pets through the use of continuing bonds (C…
Cat owners’ disenfranchised guilt and its predictive value on owners’ depression and anxiety
Numerous studies have found pets to have a beneficial effect on people’s psychological well-being, yet a growing body of research suggests that the positive impact of pet ownership is more complex than once thought and does not always lead to improved owner physical and mental health. One potential drawback to pet ownership is pet-related guilt. Research pertaining to work-family conflict and parental guilt has traditionally focused on human fami…
Breast cancer survivors’ experiences of pet ownership
Research suggests that the emotional bond shared with a pet can be particularly significant for those with declining physical health, yet little is known about breast cancer survivors’ experiences with pet ownership. The purpose of this study was to explore breast cancer survivors’ pet-related experiences including the benefits, challenges, and unmet needs. Adults (ages 18 and older), diagnosed with stages 0 ( in situ )-IV breast cancer and curre…
Dog owners
Parental guilt, one common subtype of guilt often associated with work-family conflict (WFC), has been found to be associated with depression and anxiety. Because many people view their pets as family members and even children, the current study was designed to explore dog owners’ dog-related guilt and its relationship with depression and anxiety. Through an online anonymous survey, the results of our study suggest that dog owners’ guilt and dog-…
The Loss of a Service Dog Through Death or Retirement
This study was designed to better understand how service dog partners experience the loss of their service dog. An anonymous survey was distributed to service dog partners who had lost a dog within the last five years. One-way ANOVAs were used to assess loss differences (retirement vs. death) on scores for Centrality of Events Scale, Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale, Social Constraints Measure, and Self-Compassion Scale. Linear regressio…
US Adults’ Perceptions of Dog Breed Bans, Dog Aggression and Breed-Specific Laws
Dog aggression directed towards people is a leading reason for relinquishment and a major public health hazard. In response to the threat of dog aggression and dog bites, breed-specific legislation has been introduced in numerous cities within the United States and countries throughout the world. There is limited evidence, however, to suggest that such laws are effective. This study explored, through an online, anonymous, cross-sectional survey, …
An Examination of Changes in Oxytocin Levels in Men and Women Before and After Interaction With a Bonded Dog
Oxytocin (OT) is a neuropeptide increasingly recognized for its role in bonding, socialization, and stress relief. Previous research has demonstrated participants' OT levels increased after interacting with or petting a dog, suggesting OT is at least partially responsible for the calm, relaxing feeling that participants experienced during this intervention. The purpose of our study was to more closely examine changes in oxytocin levels in men and…

Latina breast cancer survivors' lived experiences
Latina breast cancer survivors are not benefiting from advances in psychosocial interventions. Despite their greater breast cancer burden, there is a dearth of information about this population. This qualitative study examined the experiences of 18 immigrant Latina breast cancer survivors along the survivorship continuum, from diagnosis to long-term survivorship. The authors conducted separate focus groups with women in the acute, reentry, and lo…
Do Men Underreport and Mask Their Emotional Attachment to Animal Companions? The Influence of Precarious Masculinity on Men's Bonds with Their Dogs
Males' underreporting of psychological issues, physical symptoms, and personal information is commonplace both in medical and psychological settings in North America. One explanation for this occurrence is men that endorse traditional forms of masculine gender roles underreport or mask their symptoms to avoid being perceived as less masculine. In a similar way, the thesis of the current study was males may also mask and underreport the strength o…
Crosstrails
Domestic violence does not happen in isolation from other forms of violence, and there is a growing recognition that domestic violence, child abuse, and animal abuse often occur in the same households. Recent studies have found that many women seeking shelter in safehouses report that their abuser had threatened to harm or had harmed/killed their pet and that concern about their pets’ safety caused them to delay leaving an abusive situation. Few …
A Human-Animal Intervention Team Approach to Animal-Assisted Therapy
A human-animal intervention (HAI) team approach to animal-assisted therapy is described and assessed. The effectiveness of this modality is evaluated in two case studies of emotionally disturbed children. Two school age children (both males, 11 and 12 years of age) participated in an average of 12 weekly sessions. Progress of individual goals was assessed through numerous sources: The ADD-M comprehensive Teacher Rating Scale (ACTeRS); observation…
Exploring the Meaning and Experience of Chronic Pain with People Who Live with a Dog
Pain is a significant burden for those with chronic disease and negatively impacts quality of life, causing disability and substantial work and health-care costs. Chronic pain has been identified as one of the most important current and future causes of morbidity and disability across the world. Living with a dog has been associated with greater physical activity, less disability, more social ties to the community, and improved mental health. In …

Reported Strength of Human-Animal Bonding and Method of Acquiring a Dog
Strength of the human-animal bond among dog owners was investigated as a function of who chose to adopt a particular dog. Undergraduate students (129 women, 59 men) were presented an animal-bonding scale and questions relating to the acquisition of their dogs. Analysis indicated participants who had chosen dogs themselves or in conjunction with another scored higher on bonding with their animals than owners who reported that someone else had chos…

Sample Compositions and Variabilities in Published Studies versus Those in Test Manuals
As measurement specialists, we have done a disservice to both ourselves and our profession by habitually referring to “the reliability of the test,” or saying that “the test is reliable.” This has created a mind-set implying that reliability, once proven, is immutable. More important, practitioners and scholars need not know measurement theories if they may simply rely on the reliability purportedly intrinsic within all uses of established measur…
Reliability Generalization
This study used reliability generalization to explore the variance of scores on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory’s (MMPI’s) 10 clinical scales. Reliability generalization was implemented to identify (a) typical reliability of scores across studies, (b) the variability of clinical scale score reliability, and (c) measurement factors explaining or predicting variability in MMPI clinical score reliability. The reliability coefficients…
A Reliability Generalization Study of the Teacher Efficacy Scale and Related Instruments
Teacher efficacy has proven to be an important variable in teacher effectiveness. It is consistently related to positive teaching behaviors and student outcomes. However, the measurement of this construct is the subject of current debate, which includes critical examination of predominant instruments used to assess teacher efficacy. The present study extends this critical evaluation and examines sources of measurement error variance in the Teache…

Flexible Therapeutic Tools for Treating Nonhuman Animal Abusers
Public Perceptions of Service Dogs, Emotional Support Dogs, and Therapy Dogs
As service dogs, emotional support dogs, and therapy dogs have become more prevalent in the USA, so too has the controversy surrounding their legitimacy. Yet, there is a lack of objective data regarding the public's understanding of the role played by each of these types of animals, as well as their perceptions regarding the legitimacy of their integration. An anonymous, online survey was distributed to examine the perceptions of US adults who do…
