Let me just start by saying ... guilty. I bet I have thousands of photos of my dog Nelly on my phone. However, I'd bet I only have hundreds of my boyfriend Collin who I love equally as much. But it turns out I'm not a bad girlfriend, I'm just like every other dog owner.

A study from Rover.com says 65% of dog owners take more pictures of their dog than their partner. The study also hilariously details -

The study also revealed that 50% of the poll-takers find it harder to leave their dog for a week than their human counterpart.

According to KXXV -

Most of the dog owners, 94 %, consider their dog a part of the family, and 56% greet their dog when they walk in the door - before they greet their family.

Love them like family and treat them like family.
