Learning Objectives, Session 9: The Gift of Mutual Caring, in the Wonderful Welcome Program
Participants will:
- Learn that some animals have been trained to assist people with special needs and how these working animals are different from pets
- Understand how working animals exemplify care between species, an intangible gift the children can give and receive
- Explore their own interactions with animals as pets, at a zoo, in books or electronic media, or in nature
- Identify elements of a mutual caring relationship between a human and an animal, including responsibility, affection, loyalty, and help
- Connect caring relationships between humans and animals with the larger concept of the interdependent web of life, the seventh Unitarian Universalist Principle
- Make gifts for animal friends and/or sell dog biscuits to raise funds for a guide dog school or a no-kill shelter.
