Survey Discovered That People Would Rather Kiss Their Dogs Than Their Partners
Dogs are known for being loyal and loving creatures—unlike humans, who are often seen as the opposite. The relationships we have with our pets are obviously different from those we have with our partners. For example, dogs often become our best friends; we let them sleep in our beds, eat dinner with us, and take long, romantic walks on the beach together. Sound familiar?
However, the love between animals and humans is the purest of all. There are no complicated feelings or mixed signals; it's just love. This is why it isn't surprising to hear that people would rather kiss their dogs than their partners.
According to a survey conducted by Dr. Helen Fisher, a biological anthropologist, 52% of dog owners kiss their pets more than they kiss their partners. Dr. Fisher states, "The bond between humans and dogs is unique, often surpassing even romantic relationships in emotional connection." This highlights the deep affection many people feel for their pets, which can sometimes overshadow their romantic interactions.
The results also revealed that people would rather share a bed with their dog than with their partner.
Unsurprisingly, 94% of the pet owners surveyed said that they consider their dog to be one of their best friends.
This makes the other results make sense!
In fairness, Riley's Organic is a dog food company, so it is likely that their results are somewhat skewed!
It would be interesting to create a survey with a more general sample from the population.
However, please be aware of your dog's behavior when you kiss them.
Some dogs may feel threatened or uncomfortable with kissing.
Take note of how your dogs like to receive affection.
Maybe they love kisses, but maybe they don't.
We don't kiss humans when they don't want to; so why would we do the same to dogs?
So, what's the consensus: pets or partners?
Some people noted a dog's loyalty...
Dogs are always happy to see us!
"Generally"
The consensus seems to be that people prefer their pets!
"Sometimes" is the key word here.
There's nothing more to it!
