Is it any wonder that many women would date their dogs?

According to a survey of dog owners by the American Kennel Club, nearly 90 percent of women found at least one quality in their dog that they'd like to see in their significant other, while 34 percent of the women questioned agreed with the statement: "If my dog was a man, he'd be my boyfriend."

When the question was posed to men, 33 percent said the top canine quality they wished that women had was "always being in a good mood." Fewer men — 23 percent — agreed with the statement: "If my dog was a woman, she'd be my girlfriend."

"We know people love dogs, but we conducted this survey to find out just how much this fixation with Fido affected even their interpersonal relationships with other people," said Gail Miller, spokeswoman for the AKC. "Dogs are so important to their owners that they can, in many instances, make or break a relationship."


You're Such a Dog

Among the top canine qualities women look for in men are:

Perennial good mood (25 percent)
Always willing to spend time with you (21 percent)
Always up for cuddling on the couch (20 percent)
Motivates you to exercise (12 percent)
Eagerness to eat your cooking (11 percent)

Additional canine qualities men look for in women:

Just as happy to hang at home as go out on the town (16 percent)
Always greeting me enthusiastically when I get home (15 percent)
Doesn't get mad when I want to watch sports (15 percent)
Being up for anything I want to do (11 percent)

well have you ever noticed that married people who don't have kids have dogs? and single women who are older tend to have dogs? I asked a woman about this once and she said it's because she still has love to give. I think it's really sad.

Pets in general are like kids without tuition...Also having a GF that's a vet doesn't hurt - free medical benefits

my wife is making me get a dog when we move in Sept. I'm more of a cat person. I like dogs just fine, but I prefer a pet who doesn't care if I come home as long as it gets fed.

Tip: MAKE her feed he/she daily & treats - it'll follow her everywhere and it will barely give you a nod...

I know some people that confuse me when they say they have kids but when they show me pictures of them, they turn out to be there dogs. I find that a little over the edge.

Yeah and also the families that put clothes on their dogs, and dress it up for different holidays, halloween, christmas, family members birthday, etc. And say the dog got you a present

I don't have a dog, this is from friends pets.

sick bastards. I have a cat, I know it's a cat. I don't call it my baby, or consider it to be anything more than a cat. It doesn't give a damn if I come home as long as it has food and water and clean liter. I can setup food for a week, when I came back he will look at me with the "oh, so your back" look and go off and do whatever he does during the day. He's fond of the lap and I don't mind petting him.

now a dog cares what you are doing, when you get home, and I don't know how many times I hear "I've got to get home and let the dog out" Just too much maintenance

If I wanted additional responsibility I would have had another kid.
