Since its inception, occupational science has explored the phenomenon of humans doing together, including humans doing with other humans and with objects. However, it has yet to explore humans doing with animals. Given animals are living, sentient beings that have the potential to greatly impact human occupation, they cannot be equated to inanimate objects or simply viewed as part of the environment or context. The purpose of this article is to establish the relevance of human-animal interaction to occupational science and open a new line of inquiry and understanding of human-animal occupation. The paper provides background information about human-animal interaction and introduces the impact of canines on occupational engagement, habits, routines, and sense of place. An insight into how human-canine interaction may be reconceptualized as human-animal co-occupation is also presented. Finally, implications for the discipline are discussed. Given that this is a novel topic within the discipline, this paper introduces just some of the ways canines impact occupation.
