Wrapping up a busy month, members of the B.A.R.K. team attended the 2024 International Society for Anthrozoology (ISAZ) conference at the end of June! Travelling to Hartpury University in Gloucestershire, England, the team successfully presented three oral presentations and a poster presentation to the ISAZ community! All four papers were well-received and the team were thrilled to have such thought-provoking discussions with colleagues from across the world.
