WASHINGTON, Oct. 28,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Human Animal Bond
Research Institute (HABRI) is proud to announce a new partnership
with Ancestry®, maker of the Know Your Pet DNA test. This
collaboration will advance scientific research on the bond between
people and pets, enhancing our understanding of the profound health
benefits that this relationship provides.

not only enriches the lives of animals but also strengthens the
connections we share with them," said Caitlyn Bruns, Senior Manager of DNA Strategy at
Ancestry.
Ancestry will support HABRI's ongoing efforts to fund innovative
research on the human-animal bond. HABRI has to date funded 57
research projects examining the positive health impacts of the bond
for both people and animals including improved mental, physical and
social health.
"Ancestry is proud to support HABRI's mission," said
Caitlyn Bruns, Senior Manager of DNA
Strategy at Ancestry. "Ancestry started Know Your Pet DNA because
we believe that understanding the genetics and history of our pets
not only enriches the lives of animals but also strengthens the
connections we share with them."
In collaboration with Ancestry, HABRI will continue to educate
the public about the human-animal bond, creating new opportunities
to communicate the far-reaching impact of pets on society and the
value of companion animals as a part of healthy lifestyles.
"Scientific research has consistently shown that the
human-animal bond plays a vital role in enhancing quality of life,"
