The People-Pet Partnership (PPP)
PATH, a therapeutic riding program, gives
children and adults with disabilities the joy of riding a horse. |
The Pet-People Partnership (PPP), a public service program
in the Center for the Study
of Animal Well-Being (CSAW) in the College of Veterinary Medicine, was
created to more fully understand the human–animal bond and to promote the
humane treatment of companion animals.
Through education, research, and outreach, the PPP provides a number of
important public services, including:
|
Palouse Area Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH): A program
that provides recreational therapeutic horseback riding to people with
emotional, mental, and physical disabilities
Human-Animal Bond Research: Our research seeks to better
understand the significant bond between animals and humans, how caring for
animals enhances human well-being, and how the bond between animals and
humans influences veterinary medicine.
Pet
Education Partnership: An online curriculum to teach
children responsible pet ownership
