Hello,

For those who do not know me, my name is Tracy Zaparanick. I am
Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville, College
of Social Work. I need your help to complete my dissertation
research that examines relationships between people and their dogs.

• Are you 18 years or older?
• Do you live in the United States?
• Do you currently have at least one dog who lives inside, or
outside, your home and for whom you are responsible at least some of
the time?

If you did not say yes to all three of the above questions or are
unable to participate, you could still help by forwarding this
invitation to one or more people you know who do qualify.

If you said yes to all three of the above questions, I hope you will
participate in my study. By answering about 15 minutes worth of
questions about yourself, your dog, and your relationship with your
dog, you will contribute to this study that seeks to understand more
about relationships between people and their dogs.

As a thank you for your time and participation, I am offering you a
chance to win one of four $25.00 PetSmart gift cards by completing
the entire survey and submitting your email address at the end of the
survey. The drawing will take place on or about May 30, 2007.
