The Role of Dogs Research Study
Do you have an opinion about the impact of canine friendship on the lives of people with
disabilities/chronic health conditions? A new research project called “The Role of Dogs” is seeking input from people with disabilities living with service dogs OR PET DOGS as well as non-dog owners.
This study is being conducted by a research group at the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis. If you have questions, contact Mariko Yamamoto, PhD at maryamamoto@ucdavis.edu.
To participate in the anonymous survey you must be 18 years or older and either:
1) a person with a disability OTHER than visual or hearing disabilities, or
2) a family member of service dog partners
For this study, service dogs are defined as “dogs that have received specific training to assist their partners with disabilities other than visual or hearing disabilities.”
