34、e implications for preventing dogs from roaming （walking） far from home or attacking other animals. As caregivers，we need to develop better bonds with our dogs，not only for our own wellbeing and the dogs wellbeing，but also for nature， says Lorena SaavedraAracena at the University of Magallanes，Chile

35、.Previous research has shown that unsterilized （未杀菌的） male dogs and undernourished dogs tend to roam longer distances，but tis isnt always the case.SaavedraAracena wondered if the dogs attachment to their caregivers also played a role，so she ana her colleagues equipped 41 freeroaming pet dogs with GP

36、S colIars，tracking their journeys on Navarino Island in southern Chile for about 3 weeks.Although most of the dogs stayed within a 200meter radius（半径） of home，Some travelled up to 28 kilometres away.One even swam in a nearfreezing canal for an hour while chasing native water birds ，says saavdraArace

37、na.The dogs regularly brought home carcasses （动物的尸体） of native birds，and 80 per cent of them harassed other animals，mainly local cattle and sheep.The researchers asked owners to complete a standard survey about the doghuman bond.Then.to get the dogs point of view，they ran a behaviour test adapted fr

38、om evaluations of childrens bonds with their parents.Each dog was reunited with its owner in a new place.addressed by strangers，left alone in an unfamiliar room and given free access to a second，empty room.The team found that lower scores on the bonding test correlated with greater roaming distances

39、.The owners of these dogs had assessed their pets attachment to them as much stronger than the bonding tests suggested，says SaavedraAracena.Is it possible that people place too much weight on their dogs enthusiastic greetings as a sign of bonding，she says.Dogs that roamed the most often showed the m

41、weakened the dogowner bond in farroaming dogs，she says.Neighbours sometimes give them food，and tourists hiking on the island offer walks and companionship，potentially reinforcing the roaming problem.Outside opportunities for food，exercise and socialisation could all affect bonding，says Paul McGreevy

42、 at the University of New England in Australia.These aspects are critical to dog welfare and represent needs that must be met by its caregiver，both for building attachment and for controlling roaming behaviour.If any one of those three key resources is lacking，then the dog can be justified in going

43、elsewhere. he says.Although it has become less common to see roaming dogs in industrialised nations，they continue to roam freely in most societies，says SaavedraAracena.Even when owners restrain their pets，some dogs can escape their ropes.Unlike children who loosen bonds with their parents as they gr

44、ow older，dogs can become more attached to their caregivers throughout their lives， she says. So，its never too late to work on building that bond，playing with your dog and just spending time with him，getting to know him better，just like you would with a human partner.32.From the research done by Saav
