Amen to that!!! My dog (my best friend) sit on my swing and talk about whatever comes up. She is a great listener. While I would not want alone time with her over my significant other, She ranks way up there and I trust her judgement when it comes to people.

85% of pet parents are more likely to “swipe right” on a photo that included a dog. Everyone who does this expects to see the dog on the first date, obviously.

Finally. Actual empirical data to prove what I’ve been perpetuating my entire life: dogs are better than people. According to hundreds of pet owners nationwide, choosing between your dog and your in-law is a no brainer.

Here are the facts:

61% of pet parents would end a relationship for their pet if their pet was in danger or treated badly. More than half of the participants would trust their dog’s judgement before their mother’s.

Over 1/4 of pet parents suspect their family prefers their pet to their significant other. This is likely to be because the dog knows that “approving” of your significant other really means they’ll be getting more attention from your parents.

Over 1/4 of pet parents have brought their dogs on a date. Those who didn’t make up the 61% who had to end a relationship for their pet.

95% of dog owners would rather spend the night at home cuddling with their dog than on a blind date. Because literally anything is more fun than a blind date.

56% of pet parents prefer to share the bed with their pet parent and their pet. Pretty sure this question was framed as “If you had to share your bed with your partner, would you want your dog cuddling between you two?”

45% of pet parents spend more money on their pet than their partner every month. Dogs appreciate stuff way more than people, okay?
