Declarations
:
: This study was performed in line with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Approval was granted by the Semmelweis University Regional and Institutional Committee of Science and Research Ethics in 2019. Considering the fact that in Hungary the use of therapeutic animals is legally defined and may be performed only in accordance with a strict legal framework, the approval of an animal research ethics committee was not necessary. The welfare of the therapy dog was the responsibility of the therapy dog handler, the appropriate material and personnel conditions were provided by the “Kutyával az Emberért” Foundation, and our rehabilitation center. All applicable international, national guidelines for the care and use of animals were followed. The participants in our research provided informed written consent to participate.
