According To A Recent Study, Dogs Are Better Company Than Humans
- 28/03/2017
Over 1/4 of pet parents believe that their pets are more accepted within their families than their partners… we admit it’d be stiff competition with a face like that.
61% of pet parents would end a relationship for their pet and more than half of the participants would trust their dog’s judgment before their mother’s.
Over 1/4 of participants have brought their dogs on a date and 85% of pet parents are more likely to “swipe right” on a photo that included a dog. We see a strong correlation here, take note.
Over 1/4 of pet parents have planned a special date for themselves and their pet because isn’t every day a good day to celebrate the ones you love most?
95% of dog owners would rather spend the night at home cuddling with their dog than on a blind date – because almost anything else is more enjoyable than small talk with a total stranger.
56% of pet parents prefer to share the bed with their pet AND their partners, rather than just their partners.
Almost 70% of participants admitted that they would sacrifice alone time with their significant others for their pets. Netflix or dog beach? Seems like a no-brainer.
45% of pet parents spend more money on their pet than their partner every month. This seems fair to us?
And finally, 87% of pet parents would get their pet a Valentine’s Day gift.
So what does this all show? Maybe that we’re all a little crazy? I’d accept that. But at the end of the day, I think what it shows most prominently is that our collective obsessions with our pets exist for a good reason. The connections we develop with our pets are unlike any other. They are fiercely loyal and relentless in their displays of affection. They give us so much, and it only seems right to do what we can to give it back.
Once you make the fateful decision to get a fur baby of your own – your life will certainly change dramatically, but I promise it will always be for the better.
