Dogs As Companion Animals

For decades dogs (Canis familiaris) have been used to aid humans in tasks such as hunting, herding and guarding. Dogs have also been used to enhance the quality of life of individuals with disabilities. This includes guiding and alerting people with impaired vision or hearing, and retrieving dropped items for the physically challenged. More recently, the concept of dog-assisted therapy has evolved into tremendously successful programs in the areas of physical rehabilitation and psychological recovery. However, as society has moved from small rural communities to increasingly large urban and suburban centers, the role of dogs as mere companions has increased. More than 30 million Americans live with one or more dogs, the majority of whom are kept as social companions.
