| Abstract | In Korea, there is a need for research on human–animal relationships because of an increase in the number of companion animals and positive changes in public perception toward them. Few studies have examined these changes. This epidemiological study investigates the characteristics of Korean dog owners and their pet dogs and identifies the owner- and dog-dependent factors that influence owners’ attitudes toward pets. We conducted a cross-sectional study of dog owners by asking them to complete a Pet Attitude Scale-based questionnaire about their dogs and themselves. The participants included 654 young adults between 19 and 39 years of age who lived in Seoul and owned dogs. We found that most dogs were owned by single, educated, high income men who preferred small purebred dogs. Most were also likely to underestimate their dog’s Body Condition Score (BCS). The multivariable logistic regression (odds ratio, OR) and the multiple linear regression (unstandardized coefficients, B) models suggested that positive pet attitudes were associated with nineseven factors: overweight (OR = 2.68, B = 5.28) orand a normal BCS (OR = 2.09, B = 5.58), having medical history related disease (OR =2.36, B = 6.38) and vaccination (OR = 2.10, B = 6.22), buying the pet dog (OR = 0.60, B=-3.85), having a small dog (≤ 10 kg) (OR = 1.66), visiting the veterinarian frequently (OR = 1.08, B = .39), spending more time with dog (OR = 1.23, B=1.32), and keeping other species in the house (B = -4.27). This study is the first to identify relationships between owner- and dog-dependent factors and pet owner attitude toward pets, all within a Korean cultural context. This study highlights factors associated with the development of relationships between pet dogs and their owners. The exploratory study is novel because it examines pet ownership in the context of Korean culture; previous pet ownership studies were set in the West and are analyzed with Western cultural values in mind. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
