2 in 3 dog owners claim their dogs could never survive in the wild without them

According to a new survey, two in three dog owners claim their dogs ‘could never survive in the wild’ without them.

The poll of 2,000 American dog owners found the average person believes their pup could only take care of themselves for a maximum of two days. A third (31%) give their dogs less than a single day.

A large majority of owners surveyed (86%) claimed their dogs live “a life of luxury” compared to their ancestors and 77% said their dogs have grown accustomed to a life of being catered to.
