Group 1: Pet Attachment
Members of Group 1 will be taking a look at attachment to pets and how it affects us.
Let’s start with an introduction to the topic by listening to a discussion on our relationship with
pets with Dr. Karen Hiestand. In this podcast you will learn about how pets understand us
(animal empathy), some differences between dogs and cats, how we are affected by the loss of a
pet, and how our pets can affect our healing and well-being.
The podcast is All in the Mind and the name of the episode is “Looking inside the mind of our
pets – and our relationships with them.”
