Abstract

During recent years, several studies have revealed that human-dog relationship are based on a well established and complex bond. There is now evidence suggesting that the dog-human affectional bond can be characterized as an "attachment". The present study investigated the influence of the owners' attachment profile assessed throughout a new semi-projective test (the 9 Attachment Profile) on the owner-dog attachment bond evaluated using a modified version of those used in studying human infants: Ainsworth's "strange situation". The findings represented the first evidence that owner's personality affected dog's behavior throughout procedure and behavioral analyses involving controlled observations
