What a Pet Parent’s Dog Says About Them

Most dog owners believe their dogs have a great personality, much like their own. And, if you ask them to describe their dog, you can get a great insight into the person themselves. Here are three things to keep in mind about your favorite pet:

1) Dog owners are more outgoing than cat people
Research from the University of Texas has found that dog people were generally about 15% more extraverted, 13% more agreeable and 11% more conscientious than cat people.

2) Dog people are less open than cat owners
The same study found dog people to be 11% less open than cat people.

3) You can tell someone's moral outlook by their dog
Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt has found that Liberals want dogs that ‘are gentle and relate to their owners as equals'. Conservatives, on the other hand, ‘want dogs that are loyal and obedient'.

To read more and to ponder what your pet choice says about you, go over to Good Housekeeping. They may even tell you what an aggressive dog tells others about your psyche! However, they may not confirm what an aggressive cat tells everyone about your temperament!

To sum up, we believe many people probably should own… hamsters! LOL!
