| Abstract | Ovaj diplomski rad obrađuje temu pasa kao kućnih ljubimaca, životinja koje su prihvaćene kao dio obitelji i smatraju se čovjekovim najboljim prijateljima. Ciljevi ovog rada su otkriti učestalost posjedovanja psa kao kućnog ljubimca, uvidjeti njegov utjecaj na emocionalno i psihičko zdravlje članova obitelji kojoj pripada, saznati kako pas pomaže osobama s fizičkim ili psihičkim poteškoćama, analizirati najčešće odgovornosti članova obitelji vezano uz brigu za psa te istražiti utjecaj posjedovanja psa kao kućnog ljubimca na količinu vremena provedenog na otvorenom i njegov utjecaj na socijalni život ispitanika. Pas je životinja koja se kroz povijest pripitomljavala i na poslijetku postala toliko privržna ljudima da je danas potpuno normalno doživljavati je kao dio obitelji. Psi su potomci vukova, opasnih životinja, samostalnih lovaca, što je vidljivo u psećem obliku tijela i brzini koju posjeduju. Danas razlikujemo mnogo pasmina pasa, od najmanjih psića čupave dlake koji teže 1 kilogram, preko pasa koji nemaju dlaku, sve do najvećih pasa, duge ili kratke dlake, koji mogu težiti i do 90 kilograma. U ovom radu predstavljen je sam početak pojave pasa, objašnjene su njihove anatomske i fiziološke karakteristike, njihov karakter i ponašanja, uspostava veze s ljudima i njihov utjecaj na život čovjeka. Neki su psi samo ljubimci, prave društvo svojim ljudima i pružaju im ljubav, podršku, utjehu, dok su neki i više od toga. Pas je životinja koja zahvaljujući svom karakteru može obavljati dužnosti u javnim službama poput policije i vojske, ali i pružati pomoć u rehabilitacije potrebitih osoba. |

The dog is an animal that was domesticated throughout history and eventually became so attached to people that today it is completely normal to see it as part of the family. Dogs are descendants of wolves, dangerous animals, independent hunters, which is visible in the dog's body shape and the speed they possess. Today, we distinguish many breeds of dogs, from the smallest dogs with shaggy hair that weigh 1 kilogram, to dogs that have no hair, all the way to the largest dogs, with long or short hair, that can weigh up to 90 kilograms. In this paper, the very beginning of the appearance of dogs is presented, their anatomical and physiological characteristics, their character and behavior, the establishment of a relationship with people and their influence on human life are explained. Some dogs are just pets, they keep their people company and provide them with love, support, comfort, while some are more than that. A dog is an animal that, thanks to its character, can perform duties in public services such as the police and the army, but also provide assistance in the rehabilitation of needy persons. |
