Unlike many research studies, which unfold quietly in the ivory towers of research universities, the new era of canine science is intentionally public facing. The rise of canine science has benefited substantially from public interest and participation in the research process. In this final article, we identify a set of overarching challenges that emerge from this work and identify priorities and opportunities for the future of canine science. The individual articles in this collection provide a detailed treatment of key topics discussed at these events. Leadership Fellows from around the world gathered in 20 to discuss the state of research and future directions in canine science. This Perspective represents the final article in a collection of manuscripts arising from two workshops sponsored by the Wallis Annenberg PetSpace Leadership Institute. The factors underlying dogs' newfound popularity in science are diverse and include (1) increased interest in understanding dog origins, behavior, and cognition (2) diversification in our approaches to research with non-human animals (3) recognition of dogs' value as a unique biological model with relevance for humans and (4) growth in research on the nature and consequences of dog-human interactions, in their myriad forms, from working dog performance to displaced canines living in shelters. Canine scientists, who previously occupied relatively marginalized roles in academic research, are increasingly being hired at major research universities, and centers devoted to the study of dogs and their interactions with humans are proliferating around the world. During the last two decades, this sentiment has changed dramatically canine science is rapidly maturing into an established, impactful, and highly interdisciplinary field ( Figure 1). However, throughout much of scientific history they have been dismissed as an artificial species with little to contribute to our understanding of the natural world, or our place within it. We explore the roles of dog welfare, science communication, and research funding, with an emphasis on developing approaches that benefit people and dogs, alike.ĭogs have played important roles in the lives of humans for millennia ( 1, 2). In this final Perspective paper, we identify a set of overarching themes that will be critical for a productive and sustainable future in canine science. The articles in this Frontiers Research Topic, Our Canine Connection: The History, Benefits and Future of Human-Dog Interactions, arise from two meetings sponsored by the Wallis Annenberg PetSpace Leadership Institute, which convened experts from diverse areas of canine science to assess the state of the field and challenges and opportunities for its future. 7Animal Welfare Science Centre, Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, VIC, AustraliaĬanine science is rapidly maturing into an interdisciplinary and highly impactful field with great potential for both basic and translational research.6Center for Urban Resilience, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, CA, United States.5Department of Psychology, Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, NC, United States.4California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, CA, United States.3Cognitive Science, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, United States.2College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, United States.1School of Anthropology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, United States.MacLean 1,2,3 *, Aubrey Fine 4, Harold Herzog 5, Eric Strauss 6 and Mia L.
