Purpose of ReviewThe purpose of the present review was threefold: to address the current state of Animal-Assisted Interactions (AAI) within the military; to summarize recent literature (within the past three years) in the field of AAI; and to discuss trends in AAI research since 2014.Recent FindingsWith regard to AAI within the military, several canine interaction programs have been utilized to assist service members in coping with various issues. Therapy dogs have been deployed with Combat…

Describing the Use of Animals in Animal-Assisted Intervention Research
TLDR
Lacking IACUC approval in AAI studies indicates that the field underutilizes this method of monitoring animal health and welfare, and should assess, approve, and monitor research protocols involving animals prior to conducting every study to safeguard AAI animal welfare.

Impact of the implementation of a therapy dog program on burn center patients and staff.
TLDR
One year after the implementation of the therapy dog program at a burn center, it is demonstrated feasibility, acceptability, and desirability of this type of program at the burn center.
An adjunctive human-animal interaction intervention for veterans with PTSD: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
TLDR
An ongoing, federally funded, randomized controlled trial testing the efficacy of RESCUE, an HAI intervention, as a viable adjunctive treatment component for PE, and hypothesized that participants in the HAI condition will report greater decreases in emotional-numbing symptoms and increased treatment compliance and completion rates relative to those in the community volunteer condition.

TLDR
An overview on potential welfare threats that therapy dogs may encounter and the results of a review of available studies on welfare indicators for therapy dogs during AAIs are presented.
Animal-Assisted Intervention for trauma: a systematic literature review
TLDR
It is concluded that AAI may provide promise as a complementary treatment option for trauma, but that further research is essential to establish feasibility, efficacy, and manualizable protocols.
The Role and Impact of Animals with Pediatric Patients.
TLDR
A literature review included primary data sources PubMed, PsychINFO, Medline, and CINAHL, and yielded positive and beneficial outcomes to be gained through AAT in the pediatric population.
Effect of a time-out session with working animal-assisted therapy dogs
TLDR
This research studied the effect of a “quiet-play” time-out session on AAT dogs during their work shifts and showed multiple trends including younger dogs, aged <6 years, showed more behavioral signs of stress than older dogs.
Post-Operative Benefits of Animal-Assisted Therapy in Pediatric Surgery: A Randomised Study
TLDR
Animal-assisted therapy facilitated rapid recovery in vigilance and activity after anaesthesia, modified pain perception and induced emotional prefrontal responses and an adaptative cardiovascular response was also present.
Patient benefit of dog-assisted interventions in health care: a systematic review

The overall assessment of the included studies indicates minor to moderate effects of dog-assisted therapy in psychiatric conditions, as well as forDog-assisted activities in cognitive disorders and for dog- assisted support in different types of medical interventions.
A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials of Animal-Assisted Therapy on Psychosocial Outcomes
TLDR
It is suggested that aaIs may be of benefit to a wide range of individuals, including children with autism, and adults with psychological disorders, including schizophrenia, however, further research using well-designed RCts is required to more definitively explore what specific types of aaI are beneficial for specific populations.
Methodological Considerations in Designing and Evaluating Animal-Assisted Interventions
TLDR
This paper presents a discussion of the literature on animal-assisted interventions and describes limitations surrounding current methodological quality and checklists for quantitative and qualitative research designs to guide future research are offered to help address methodological rigour.
The Effect of Animal-Assisted Therapy on Stress Responses in Hospitalized Children
TLDR
This exploratory study indicates that AAT can decrease physiological arousal in hospitalized children and therefore may be useful in helping them cope better in a hospital setting.
