More Than Just a Pet

They may be considered man’s best friend, but a survey has revealed that it is actually women who have stronger bonds with their dogs than men. In fact, some women even admit telling their dogs their deepest, darkest secrets; secrets they don’t even tell their closest friend or spouse. Apparently, for many female dog owners, their dogs are not just a pet but a loved one who can sometimes read their minds. Men, however, often describe their pets as a trusted companion. In the survey, barely 10% of men were found open with their dogs while women made it to 14%. It is certainly not a question on which gender shows who love their pets more, or who buy their dogs healthy foods, or who housebreak their pets using wooden dog gates. The survey simply shows that many female dog owners are more emotionally attached to their pets.

Both men and women can be great dog owners. Both genders can be responsible when it comes to taking good care of their pets and training them to be obedient and loving. Both genders care deeply about their dog’s welfare. Some even go beyond simple spending for the basic canine care necessities such as dog foods, vitamins, wooden pet gates or crates and trips to the veterinarian by spending on dog clothes, pet stylists and even on expensively large and luxurious pet houses.

Many dog owners consider their canine pet as their most loyal partner; someone to whom their can entrust their secrets, someone who will not judge them for what they do, and someone who will love them no matter what other people say. Half of the survey’s respondents stated that their dogs make them feel more optimistic about things. Men’s best friend or women’s trusted secret keeper, dogs are simply considered more than just a pet.
