In a new survey, Americans say they have carried out some daring rescues, such as scaffolding at construction sites and diving into icy pools, to save their dogs.

One dog owner reported stepping between his dog and another angry canine, while another received an electric shock from exposed wiring before his pup got too close.

Ahead of National Love Your Pet Day on February 20, a study of 2,000 American dog owners examined all the ways respondents show their love for their dog and found that 72% said they would gladly put themselves in harm’s way. to save your dog.

Not surprisingly, almost four out of five (78%) consider them a full member of the family.

For some, it might be the most important relationship in the home. Of those surveyed who were married or in a relationship (79%), more than half (53%) admitted to kissing their puppy more than their partner.
