ABSTRACT
As drones are quickly becoming part of our everyday lives, dogs become inevitably exposed to them. Moreover, dog-drone interactions have far-reaching applications in search and rescue operations and other domains. This short note calls for taking an ACI, user-centric perspective on dog-drone interaction, informing the design of interactions which are safe, stress-free and enriching for our canine companions.
