If you are lucky enough to have a dog in your household, you know a simple truth that is not backed up by hard facts and empirical research. The face is, dogs are better company than people! Yes, it’s true, and we have the numbers to prove it.
Of course, for those of us who already have a dog around, they can be quite a companion. Their unconditional love is something that sticks with us through thick and thin, and it is rare that they are not by our side when we are around.
For those who may still have a lingering doubt or two, it’s time to take a look at the numbers. You will be amazed with what they reveal.
This study shows that choosing between a dog and your in-laws is a no brainer.
61% of pet parents would end a relationship for their pet. So they trust their dog’s judgment.
Over 1/4 of pet parents suspect their family prefers their pet to their significant other. Probably because it’s true?
Over 1/4 of pet parents have brought their dogs on a date. The rest ended the relationship for their pet. LOL
85% of pet parents are more likely to “swipe right” on a photo that included a dog. So there is some interest there
Over 1/4 of pet parents have planned a special date for themselves and their pet. Your dog doesn’t care if they had brunch in the park. They won’t remember it. The great thing is, they are happy, and it doesn’t matter where you go
95% of dog owners would rather spend the night at home cuddling with their dog than on a blind date. Yeah, anything is better than a blind date
56% of pet parents prefer to share the bed with their pet parent and their pet. So you want the dog cuddled between you and your spouse?
Nearly 70% of dog owners would sacrifice “alone time” with a significant other for their dog. It’s either Netflix or the dog park. Cancel Netflix please
45% of pet parents spend more money on their pet than their partner every month. Because dogs love stuff too
87% of pet parents would get their pet a Valentine’s Day gift. Dogs really get excited on those special days.
There you have it, the proof from real people. As it turns out, we not only love our dogs, we put them on a pedestal.
