Dog owners reveal how far their relationships are with their pets, new survey shows

Dog owners have revealed the extent of their bond with their furry friends – including having “conversations” with them, sleeping in the same bed, and eating from the same plate.

A poll of 2,000 US adults who own a dog found 87 percent consider their canine to be their best pal, while 97 percent consider them to be as much a member of the family as anyone else.

Precisely three-quarters have shared dialogue with their furry friends, with 62 percent “often” using a “dog voice” to do so.

For 47 percent, their relationship is so strong that they let their pet sleep in their bed every night, while 54 percent have also shared a plate of food with their dog at one time or another.

Others have thrown birthday parties for their four-legged friend (40 percent), created social media accounts dedicated to them (45 percent), and had video calls with them when away (60 percent).
