Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand the recognition of pet dogs between companion animal majors and non-majors regarding preference, knowledge, competence, role, image, use of pet dogs. A survey was conducted among 164 high school and college, university students from rural areas, medium and large cities, comprised of both companion animal majors and non-majors. The collected data was processed with $X^2$-test to see statistical significance between the two groups. The result showed a significance of (p<0.05) in competence as companion and working dogs and in Animal-Assisted Therapy for physically and psychologically challenged patients. Also, there was a great gap between two groups in recognizing pets and companion animals. Therefore, it is required to develop and implement policy programs that expand people's understanding on roles and competence of companion animals so that they can be identified as a real life companion beyond pets.

본 연구는 애완동물 관련 전공 유무를 기준으로 애견의 선호, 관련 지식, 기능, 역할, 이미지, 용도를 조사하여 집단 간 애견의 인지도를 파악하고자 시행되었다. 이를 위해 농촌, 중소도시, 대도시에 재학 중인 전공자와 비전공자 164명의 고교생과 대학생을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고 수집한 자료는 집단 간 차이를 알아보기 위해 $X^2$-test로 유의성을 검정하였다. 분석결과 애견이 반려 및 사역 기능과 심신의 장애를 겪고 있는 환자들의 동물보조치료에 이용되는 기능에서 유의성(p<0.05)을 보여 주었다. 또한 전공 유무에 따라 애완동물과 반려동물의 인지 차이가 매우 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이에 애견의 다양한 용도와 역할의 인지가 확대되어 애완동물을 너머 반려동물로서 그 정체성이 확보되는 정책적 프로그램의 개발과 적용이 필요하다고 판단된다.
