Of course my mommy loves me, what would she do without me? She needs me lol…When traveling, it’s natural to miss everyone at home, including your pets. But a recent nationwide survey by Pup-Peroni indicates that a significant portion of the pet parent population (33 percent) actually miss their pets more than their significant others! And it’s not that these people just aren’t feeling the romance; 60 percent find their pooches to be more dependable than their human pals.
Why do you suppose this is? Probably it has something to do with the connection dog owners feel to their pups. More than a third have had wordless “conversations” with their dogs, 70 percent have “shared a look” with their dogs, and nearly three-quarters of those surveyed felt confident that they could accurately read their dogs’ expressions and body language, with almost half saying they can tell what their pups are thinking.
A vast majority (89 percent) claimed that their dogs have attempted to comfort them on a bad day. Not hard to believe, as just about anyone with a dog has experienced cuddling during a good cry. But maybe that’s because owners spend so much time together with their pets instead of with humans. Seventy two per cent preferred blowing off steam by taking a walk with their four-legged friend rather than with a biped buddy
