No surprise that 94% of dog owners consider their pets to be family, but are you aware that your dog might influence your relationships?
Fifty-four percent of dog owners would consider breaking up with their lover if Fido didn’t get along with them.
Two-thirds report taking more pictures of Fido than their significant other and half said they’d rather leave the lover for a week than their dog!
Dog lovers are deeply concerned about their pets’ happiness. Just look at the rise in high-quality dog food advertisements! Dogs are included in many wedding ceremonies and custody cases.
Out of the 54 million households with dogs, many of their owners say hello to their furry friends before talking to anyone else.
Lower stress, enhanced self-esteem and greater levels of physical activity are some of the benefits of having a dog. Get a dog. Get a rescued dog! Be happier and healthier!
