We love our dogs and wouldn’t know life without them. But do you ever Thank your dog for how their existence in your life makes life SO much better?
According to the recent “Milo’s Kitchen Dog Happy Survey” — a national survey of 3,000 U.S. dog parents by the popular Milo’s Kitchen dog treat brand — Americans want to “say thanks” to our four-legged friends this Thanksgiving for enriching our lives in surprising ways that we often don’t fully appreciate. Check out this Thanksgiving Video!
WHY WE ‘SAY THANKS TO FIDO’ THIS THANKSGIVING
Milo’s Kitchen survey results include:
* 86% of dog parents say thanks to their dog for “comforting me immeasurably”
* 71% say thanks to their dog for “reminding me to seek out more joy in life”
* 64% say thanks to their dog for “making me look forward to going home”
* 63% say thanks to their dog for “making me more patient and responsible”
Why do YOU say thanks to your dog this Thanksgiving? I thank my pups for that unconditional love that they show me every day, every time I come home. Even if I just went to the mailbox, they are happy to see me and love me no matter what kind of mood I am in!
