Abstract

Odnos ljudi i životinja postoji od davnih dana, od korištenja životinja kao sredstvo zaštite, izvor hrane, pomagače u prijevozu, sport i zabavu, sredstvo komunikacije kao i sredstvo socijalizacije (Lakatoš i Vejmelka, 2018). Tek u prošlom stoljeću počelo se shvaćati da međusobni i prijateljski odnos između ljudi i životinja pozitivno utječe na društevno zdravlje ljudi (Brenčun, 1977). Danas je uloga kućnog ljubimca jedna od najčešćih uloga životinja. Ljudi svojim kućnim ljubimcima pridaju veliku važnost, a to se osobito odnosi na djecu koja se kroz druženje sa životinjama uče odgovornosti, empatiji i poštovanju te ostvaruju socijalnu interakciju. Djeca i životinje dijele snažnu povezanost, a njihov odnos kod djece potiče socioemocionalni i kognitivni razvoj te pozitivno utječe na psihološku i socijalnu dobrobit, pri čemu je ključna privrženost djeteta kućnom ljubimcu. Osim što životinje imaju ulogu kućnih ljubimaca, one mogu biti uključene i u praksu pomagačkih djelatnosti. Intervencije potpomognute životinjama odnose se na aktivnosti gdje je životinja uključena s pomagačkom ili terapijskom namjenom (Lakatoš i Vejmelka, 2018).

Abstract (english)

Correlation between humans and animals is longstanding. They were used as means of protection, food source, traveling accessory, sports and amusement, as well as communication and socializing asset (Lakatoš i Vejmelka, 2018). Only as late as last century it was realized that internecine and amicable relationship between humans and animals positively affects mankind's social health (Brenĉun, 1977). Today, however, animals are mostly used as pets. People give their pets great significance, especially children. Accompanied with pets, children are encouraged in responsibilities, empathy and respect, achieving social interaction. They share a strong bond and their relationship encourages social-emotional, likewise cognitive development, positively affecting psychological and social welfare, children's affection towards animals being the key. Besides being pets, animals can be engaged in ancillary activities. Interventions assisted by animals refers to activities where an animal's purpose is ancillary or therapeutic assignment (Lakatoš i Vejmelka, 2018).
