1 in 3 feel more emotionally understood by their dog than by their partner, survey reveals

Dogs do more than fetch balls and beg for treats; they’ve become empathetic listeners and an essential part of dog owners’ emotional well-being.

Beyond the basic commands they learn in training, the average American dog knows 18 words. That’s according to a new Preply study that analyzes how well we can communicate with our pets.

Here are the top 10 words respondents tell us their dogs know.

1. Love
2. Car
3. Cookie
4. Bye Bye
5. Baby
6. Grandma
7. Home
8. Ice Cream, TV, & Happy (all tied for 8th place).

The full report looks more at the connection between humans and their furry friends. Let me know if you’re interested in writing a story.
