The human-animal bond can have a profound impact on both human and animal health and wellbeing. As one of the original university centers focused on the human animal bond, the Center for the Human-Animal Bond at Purdue has held a key role in establishing a fundamental understanding of this impact and is committed to continue to be a leader in the field.
