Rebecca Johnson has been quoted in news stories on how dogs improve workplace productivity. The King County court system (WA state) has been using assistance dogs for seven to provide comfort to abuse victims in a courthouse setting. Don't forget how valuable pets were in helping victims of shooting trauma at Northern Illinois University following the killing of five persons on that campus in 2008. Glad to see interest in this line of research. http://iwonderandwander.rudyfoto.com/2012/09/23/dogs-and-pets-provide-meaningful-therapeutic-benefits/Rudy Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765555856277849620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830138980179954115.post-630739058402682882012-10-30T13:42:22.995-04:002012-10-30T13:42:22.995-04:00Programs like these at the APHA Annual Meeting rep...Programs like these at the APHA Annual Meeting represent the importance of health issues at the animal-human interface, and can be attributed to the Veterinary Public Health SPIG.
