risk their life for their pets, 89 percent believe
their pet understands all of some of what they say and
53 percent believe their pet would come to their
rescue if they were in distress.
Also, nearly one-third of those surveyed
spend more time with their pet than family or friends.
A near majority-- 48 percent -- consider themselves
emotionally dependent on their pet.
