Pet Connection: A Bond That Heals

Pet Connection

Join AARPNY for a three-week webinar series that explores the human-animal bond. Experts explore why we love our pets so much, how that evolved, and how animals can enhance our lives as we age. Whether our pets get us outdoors walking, provide companionship and physical contact, or just get us laughing, these relationships can be invaluable and enhance health outcomes.

AARPNY offers this weekday afternoon Zoom series with scientists who study animal behavior and their impact on us.

Registration is required to participate, please register below.

Clive Wynne, PhD, the founding director of the Canine Science Collaboratory at Arizona State University, hosts three 90-min Zoom webinars and fields questions about the special interactions we have with our beloved pets.
