 Everyone who has a pet knows the amazing bond between animals and people. Our pets become a vital part of our lives. At Windward Animal Hospital, we understand the human animal bond, which is why we treat all animals with the utmost care and respect.
Normal interaction with animals has been shown to increase a child's physiological health, social competence, and learning opportunities. Therefore, it is not surprising that companion animals are more common in families with young children. For an in-depth review regarding the human animal bond, please read this interesting article from About.com [Click Here]
Alan Beck wrote that it is the "loving devotion, the soft touch, the constant companionship and the attentive eye, and the uncritical ear of the pet" that is so attractive to many of us. Pets are uncritically accepting, give love completely and openly, and are loyal at all times under all circumstances. The affection provided by an animal is simple, unconditional, and uncomplicated. Pets are playmates for persons of any age group, provide the security of companionship and are frequently a confidant. These comforting and healing qualities enable animals to be facilitators in therapy.
"An important lesson for everyone is to accept ourselves and others in the uncritical way that pets accept us."
- Alan Beck and Aaron Katcher
