77% of dog owners say they believe their dogs know them “very well.”  Another 20% say their dogs know them “somewhat well.”  Meaning only 3% do not think their dogs know them well at all.

In fact, 20% say their dogs know them BETTER than their friends and family.

61% of cat owners say they believe their cats know them “very well.”  Another 29% say their cats know them “somewhat well.”  Meaning 10% do not think their cats pay attention to them, most likely cuz cats don’t really care 😉
