Pets and the emotional development or health of children and adolescents

Abstract

La infuencia de las mascotas al interactuar con el ser humano ya se describe en la antigua Grecia, a las personas con enfermedades incurables para levantar su amor propio, se daban paseos a caballo y en China existe una pintura titulada Primavera que data de 1.250 a. C. en la que se ilustra el uso del perro como guía para personas con discapacidad visual. Sin embargo no fue hasta mediados del siglo XVIII que los animales empiezan a verse como un “agente socializador” cuando John Locke (1699) lósofo y médico inglés, sugirió que habría que dar a los niños “un perro, una ardilla, pájaros, u otros” animales para “promover el desarrollo de sentimientos y de la responsabilidad”
