There has been a big increase in people buying dogs during #covid-19 #lockdown. However, pets can be challenging and now people are considering giving up their dogs. More people trying to give up their lockdown dogs, says charity - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58518892

Excellent thought provoking #ISAZ21 presentation by @JamesASerpell discussing whether #pet keeping in #childhood can promote ecological concerns. We need more research on children and animals @ChildAnimals @EdinUniCADP

Fantastic keynote by Dr Aubrey Fine #ISAZ21. Connecting with nature and animals is good for human #mentalhealth. More psychologists need to research this and incorporate animal-assisted interventions #AAI into our practice
