Over the past thirty years there has been a tremendous growth in
interest in the multidisciplinary field of human-companion animal
interactions and relationships. The increased interest in human-pet
relationships is not surprising considering that pets are kept in
at least half of the households in Western societies. What is so
special about the relationships people have with their pets? Are we
very different from our ancestors in the way we feel about animals?
What does pet keeping tell us about ourselves and our relationships
with people? Can pets be good for our health? Does having pets help
promote empathy for other humans? Companion Animals and Us brings
together some of the newest research from a wide variety of
disciplines including anthropology, history, psychology, sociology,
and human and veterinary medicine to explore these and many other
questions. This book will provide fascinating reading for anyone
interested in understanding more about the human-pet relationships.
