Abstract
ABSTRACTA content analysis of children's entries in a favorite pet stories contest in a newspaper revealed themes of play and loss, among others. In the 75 entries analyzed, dogs and cats were the most common animals portrayed, and girls slightly outnumbered boys. The authors discuss how the language used in the advertisement may have shaped the stories submitted. The moral dimensions of the stories are analyzed under the themes of care and responsibility. The link between biodiversity and the enhancement of imagination as proposed in the biophilia hypothesis is explored briefly in relation to such contests.
期刊介绍：
A vital forum for academic dialogue on human-animal relations, Anthrozoös is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that has enjoyed a distinguished history as a pioneer in the field since its launch in 1987. The key premise of Anthrozoös is to address the characteristics and consequences of interactions and relationships between people and non-human animals across areas as varied as anthropology, ethology, medicine, psychology, veterinary medicine and zoology. Articles therefore cover the full range of human–animal relations, from their treatment in the arts and humanities, through to behavioral, biological, social and health sciences.
