Abstract

Dogs might enjoy interaction with humans, making the human-dog relationship (HDR) important and necessary for domestic dogs. This relationship has expanded into an interaction where dogs are not solely considered companion animals but “service animals” for humans with special needs such as blindness, deafness, locomotion problems, or various conditions such as cardiovascular pathologies, epilepsy, diabetes, depression, and autism. This review aims to emphasize the effects of positive HDR on animal welfare and people with health or psychological problems, as well as individuals with special needs. It has been concluded that HDR is an interaction between humans and companion animals that might bring benefits for both. Companion animals are immersed in pleasant situations, and positive emotions might arise when keeping them physically and mentally active. Moreover, the welfare of dogs can also be improved due to the close bond with humans, who endeavor positive HDR and stress-free situations.

人狗关系及其对有特殊需要的狗和人类的积极影响

狗可能喜欢与人类互动，因此人狗关系（HDR）对家犬来说既重要又必要。这种关系已扩展为一种互动关系，在这种互动关系中，狗不仅被视为伴侣动物，而且还是有特殊需要的人类的 "服务动物"，如失明、失聪、运动障碍或各种疾病，如心血管疾病、癫痫、糖尿病、抑郁症和自闭症。本综述旨在强调积极的人类发展报告对动物福利、有健康或心理问题的人以及有特殊需要的人的影响。综述认为，人类发展报告是人类与伴侣动物之间的一种互动，可为双方带来益处。伴侣动物沉浸在愉悦的环境中，让它们保持身心活跃，可能会产生积极的情绪。此外，由于与人类的紧密联系，狗的福利也会得到改善，因为人类会努力创造积极的 HDR 和无压力的环境。
