Recently, a dog food company, Riley’s Organics, surveyed to find out just how close dog owners are to their beloved pets. After asking dog owners across the United States, the company found that people are willing to show affection toward canine friends, and dogs sometimes get more love than humans.
According to the survey, 52% of dog owners across the U.S. said they kiss their dogs more than their partners, and 61% said they kiss their dogs on the mouth. This trend also translated into the bedroom. Out of those surveyed, 52% claimed they prefer to sleep with their pets, not their partners, in the bed.
The survey also showed that 94% of pet parents who responded said they consider their dog family members and adore them all the time. For this reason, no wonder dog parents love to show their dogs so much affection.
The survey says: don’t be ashamed to show your pup some love. Chances are your partner or spouse is showering your pooch with just as many kisses!
