Since 1950 the relationship between man and animal began to be used with a therapeutic purpose. Many scientific studies underline the benefits provided by Animal Assisted Activities and Therapies. Among the main benefits we find: improvement of physical health (lower levels of blood pressure, slowing of heart beats, general sense of relaxation, higher reactivity of the immune system, improvement in mood), improvement in psychological, behavioral (increased tendency to take care of themselves and of the others, increased sense of responsibility) and relational (greater ease to build and maintain relationships, more inclination to the understanding, dialogue, higher team spirit).
