    Sharing this survey in case anyone qualifies to be a part of this very interesting and potentially impactful study! Warning that it involves the death of a family member - I know it's a difficult topic but the results can be very important in understanding the human-anuimal bond.
     
    She is interested in how companion animals of all types respond to the death of a human caregiver in their household. 
     
    If you have experienced the death of a family member/housemate in a home with at least one companion animal (pet) and you are willing to answer questions about how the animal responded to the human's death, please click this link to participate in the survey

    You must be 18 years of age or older to participate. Some of the questions may make you sad in thinking about the death of your family member and there is no compensation for responding but the survey should take less than 15 minutes to complete and will really help us understand how animals may grieve, which is really understudied.
