16 BIOPHELIA The love of life or living systems. (Amer Medical Encyclopedia) The biophelia hypothesis suggests that there is an instinctive bond between humans and other living systems. The urge to affiliate with other forms of life, as described by Edward O. Wilson. Erich Fromm suggested that biophelia describes the connections that humans have subconsciously seek with the rest of life
17 HUMAN ANIMAL BOND Social support from ourselves and others + The Attachment Theory Attachment is an emotional bond between another person or animal. Early human bonds are formed with caregivers (parents). These feeling can be transformed to an animal which is seen as helping the person grow and heal. John Bowly, Phd, first attachement theorist When frightened, securely attached children will seek comfort from their care giver. If that caregiver is perceived to be an animal, then the child will relate to the animal.

26 WORKING DOGS A working dog is a canine that is not merely a pet, but learns to perform tasks to assist and/or entertain its human companion. This is a recognized classification of dogs in the American Kennel Club, but has a different meaning in the working world context The canine is professionally trained to perform a task which assists its human handler in completing an assigned challenge. Bomb detection, drug detection, bed bug detection, mold detection, termite detection, hunting dogs, etc.
27 THERAPY DOGS A therapy dog is trained to provide affection and comfort to people in hospitals, retirement homes, nursing homes, schools, hospices, disaster areas and people with learning disabilities. Therapy dogs come in all sizes and breeds from Pomeranians to Great Danes Proper Temperament is the most important characteristic of a therapy dog. Friendly, patient, confident, gentle, and at ease in all situations Enjoy human contact and content to be constantly pet or stroked. Therapy dogs primary job is to allow unfamiliar people to make intimate physical contact with them. Hugs, kisses, pulling, petting and sometimes being laid upon. In hospice environments the dog plays a palliative care role by reducing death anxiety.
