One in five of us admit to being fonder of our pet than our other half. A nationwide study found more than two thirds (67 percent) claim their pet is their best friend, while 17 percent confess that their animal companion is more important to them than anyone else in their lives.
To celebrate the launch of the new DC Super-Pets promotion in McDonald’s Happy Meal, McDonald’s UK & Ireland commissioned a piece of research to explore the emotional bond we have with our furry friends. Three in ten (31 percent) claim they value their furry friend more than their best friend, while 57 percent state that they have more photos of their pet than their family on their phone.
When it comes to what makes our pets special, 58 percent said it’s because they don’t judge them, while half (51 percent) think their pooch or kitty is more loyal than the humans in their life, and 47 percent love the fact that their pet never answers back.
