MUSE Magazine November-December 2024. Dogs, cats, geckos? What does your ideal pet reveal about you? Discover how human-animal interactions affect people and see what emotional struggles animals and humans share. Meet Lila Miller, who revolutionized veterinary care in animal shelters, and Steven J., a bike shop rabbit in Brooklyn, New York.
Did you know that some people make a living by matching the right pet to the right owner? In fact, doing a better job of matching pets to owners might help keep animals out of shelters. Personalities, lifestyles, and living situations are all important when determining whether a new pet is really the right fit for your family. Find out your own perfect pet personality with a handy quiz! Another unexpected job: animal psychologist. Believe it or not, animals may struggle with mental and emotional health issues, too. See how professionals help them live their best fuzzy lives!
Learn why snuggling with a furry friend makes us feel good and why adopting shelter dogs makes a difference. Explore what makes people choose exotic—and sometimes dangerous—pets, get a cat’s eye view of the world, meet worms with a job, and so much more. This issue of MUSE is a menagerie of fascinating articles for any animal lover!
