At the time of the study, the animal shelter had poor disease management practices, including poor sanitation, poor medical care, no vaccination at-intake, overcrowding, and continuous rotation of dogs in the kennels. This short observation period was previously used to detect behavioral differences across kenneled dogs in the animal shelter environment [28, 29] . To evaluate whether the latent temperament variables were associated with health, we proposed a basic structural model in which Curiosity, Sociability, Anxiety, Activity, and Time in the Shelter independently predicted Illness (Fig 1) . To evaluate whether Activity, Sociability, Anxiety, Curiosity, and Time in the shelter were related to the illness score, we conducted a basic PLS Path regression model in which our 5 latent variables were tested for association with illness.	./cache/cord-278224-sq7tokbx.txt	./txt/cord-278224-sq7tokbx.txt
