Nearly 40% Of Americans Prefer Their Dog Over Their Partner?

It's no secret that most dog owners treat their pooch as if it were a member of the family. And if you're dating or married to someone who has a dog, chances are it's a package deal.

And a new survey says that quite a few dog owners love their dog MORE than they love their significant other.

The survey of nearly 1,000 dog owners finds that 38% love their dog more than their partner or spouse.

Dog owners even admit that they'd be slightly more devastated by their pet running away than a breakup, according to the survey performed for PoochPerks.com, a pet subscription box service. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being completely devastated, a runaway dog averages a 9.1 versus 8.8 for a breakup.

The survey also finds that 94 percent of dog owners think it's important that their pup like their significant other while 71 percent say there would be relationship problems if the two didn't get along. [Huffington Post]

I've never had to make that decision, which is probably a good thing!
