Introduction

Suzanne Rice, A. G. Rud

pp. 1-12

The lives of animals and humans are deeply intertwined and mutually influencing. Neither animal nor human experience can be under-stood without reference to the other, a fact that has given rise to a field of study called anthrozoology (now often referred to as human—animal studies, or HAS).¹ There has been an explosion of interest in the multifaceted and interdisciplinary field of HAS (e.g., Adams & Donovan, 1995; Bekoff, 2010; Cavalieri, 2001; DeMello, 2010; Freeman, Leane, & Watts, 2011; Flynn, 2008; Manning, Aubrey, & Serpell, 1994; Robisch, 2009; Serpell, 1996; Urbanik, 2012).
