Our Office of One Health & Wellness at the University of Saskatchewan has two upcoming products to highlight in recognition of One Health Day! The first is a free online course that was created to inform Service Dog organizations about Veterans' recovery from substance use problems and the role of peer support and connection in their wellness. Connection is recognized as happening with humans, animals and the environment around us. The second is the release of a peer-reviewed article and accompanying animated video titled “Outcomes of a controlled trial with visiting therapy dog teams on pain in adults in an emergency department”. This is the first study of its kind in Canada, and highlights the connective role of therapy dogs in human health. You can learn more about both products as they are released later this month at
