A primary mission of universities is promoting student success and
well-being. Many college and university personnel have implemented
initiatives that offer students the documented benefits of positive
human-animal interaction (HAI). Accumulating evidence suggests that
assistance dogs, therapy dogs, and shelter dogs can support student
wellness and learning. The best programs balance the welfare of
humans and canines while assessing students' needs and complying
with all laws and regulations. Contributors to this edited volume
have drawn upon research across many disciplines as well as their
extensive practical experiences to produce a timely and valuable
resource - for administrators and students. Whether readers are
just getting started or striving to improve well-established
programs, The Canine-Campus Connection provides authoritative,
evidence-based guidance on bringing college students and canines
together in reciprocally beneficial ways. Part one examines the
interactions between postsecondary students and canines by
reviewing the literature on the human-canine bond. It establishes
what necessarily must be the top priority in canine-assisted
activities and therapy: the health and safety of both. Part two
highlights four major categories of dogs that students are likely
to interact with on and off campus: service dogs, emotional support
animals (ESAs), therapy dogs, and homeless dogs. Part three
emphasizes ways in which dogs can influence student learning during
classes and across aspects of their professional development. Part
four considers future directions. Authors take the stance that
enriching and enlarging interactions between college students and
canines will require university personnel who plan and evaluate
events, projects, and programs. The book concludes with the
recommendation that colleges and universities move toward more
dog-friendly campus cultures.
