America’s verdict on most disputed doggy debate

Three in four dog parents think their canine is the “main character” of their family (76%), according to new research, conducted by Talker Research for The Pets Table.

A survey of 2,000 dog parents found that pups are so highly regarded, that a majority think of their dog as their child (84%).

Because of this, twice the number of respondents think of their dog before anyone else after a stressful day — even more than their partner (41% vs. 19%).

The survey also looked at the common “pet commandments” in the average household, settling some of the common doggy debates.
