Survey Discovered That People Would Rather Kiss Their Dogs Than Their Partners
Some people are more affectionate with their dogs than with the humans they date, and this survey leans all the way into that idea. It suggests that for plenty of pet owners, a sloppy kiss from a dog feels more natural than a kiss from a partner, which says a lot about how people see love, comfort, and loyalty.
The story centers on a lighthearted but revealing question about relationships and pets, and it taps into a bigger truth about how close many owners feel to their dogs. That kind of attachment can be sweet, funny, and a little awkward all at once.
And once the results are out there, it is hard not to wonder how many people would admit the same thing out loud.
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.
This is basically like the lady vet whose BF called her dog-kissing “disgusting.” She asked if she was doing something wrong.
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!
Wait until you see what dog owners say about the real scores behind face-licking. Prepare to be amazed at real scores behind dogs licking your face.
