Canines in the Classroom: Raising Humane Children through Interactions with Animals

Humane education teaches respect for all living things to people of all ages. Michelle Rivera, author of Hospice Hounds: Animals and Healing at the Borders of Death, shows how raising awareness of the needs of animals and society’s responsibility to them can help stop not only violence against animals but also violence against humans. Out of her research and interviews with experts in psychology, education and sociology, Rivera has created a guide for all who want to begin teaching humane education in their homes, classrooms, communities, churches and organizations.
