I've always been fascinated by research on child drawings, especially with pets. New study finds that securely attached children draw themselves closer to their mothers & siblings, but at similar distances to their pets as insecurely attached children. doi.org/10.1079/hai.2022.002…

With 51% of dog owners saying their dog’s passing was like/worse than losing a family member, we are appealing to employers to offer a day’s compassionate leave to employees should their beloved pet pass away. #NotJustADog See DogsTrust.ie/NotJustADogCamp… for more.
