Since December 2011, the Pfizer Foundation
and Zoetis have sponsored American
Humane Association (AHA) in developing
and executing an innovative research study –
the Canines and Childhood Cancer (CCC)
Study – to investigate the impact of animalassisted
therapy (AAT) on pediatric oncology
patients, their families, and the therapy dogs
who visit them. The goals of this
collaboration are to promote innovation,
evidence-based research, practice
improvements and knowledge advancement
to further the field of research on humananimal
interactions and the treatment of
cancer in children. Ultimately, a better
understanding of the effects of AAT on
pediatric oncology patients will enhance
treatment for children with cancer and
their families.
