SCHENCKE, Claudia  e  FARKAS, Chamarrita. The bond between school-age children and their dogs, and the socioemotional effects of this bond. Summa psicol. UST (En línea) [online]. 2012, vol.9, n.1, pp. 23-32. ISSN 0718-0446.

Numerous international studies have proved that owning a pet can enhance the quality of life of school-age children; however, there have been no such studies in Chile. The objective of the present study is to analyzes the bond between school-age children and their dogs, and the socioemotional effects of such bond, in particular as it relates to self-identity and the perception of social support. Some differences appear in the results of international studies, in the sense that no significant difference can be observed in terms of self-identity or perceived social support between children who own a dog and children who don't. However, it is significant that children who perceive themselves as unpopular have a stronger bond with their pets than those who perceive themselves as popular.
