英国养狗需要什么条件 英国五分之一的人宁愿养狗也不恋爱

英国五分之一的人宁愿养狗也不恋爱  

As Valentine's Day approaches
many people with Dogs will not care one bit whether they get a card.
A survey by the Kennel Club has found almost one in five would rather have a dog than be in a relationship.
Almost half said they were so attached to their pet because 'dogs don't let you down' in the same way that other people might.
近半数人说，他们如此依恋自己的狗狗，是因为“狗不会像其他人那样让你失望”。
Although a dog might not buy you roses or take you out for dinner
it seems unconditional love and a wagging tail can make being single a less lonely prospect.
The research
which asked 2
612 dog owners for their thoughts on romance
found just under a quarter agreed that having a dog would make them feel less concerned about not being in love.
Perhaps the findings are unsurprising
as celebrities have long used dogs as their plus-ones.
Hollywood legend Glenn Close took her Havanese dog Pip to the Oscars last year
describing her pet as 'the best date a girl can have'.
Comedian Miranda Hart and racing driver Lewis Hamilton have gone on holiday with their dogs
and actor Ryan Gosling has taken his cross-breed Gee
who he describes as 'the great love of my life'
on to chat shows for moral support.
Jennifer Aniston has credited her dogs and female friends with making her happy
stating: 'I've had more fun post-40 than I can remember - from a work point of view
a physical point of view
a psychotherapeutic point of view.'
Bill Lambert
a spokesman for the Kennel Club
said: 'There certainly seems to be a growing number of dog-lovers who would rather share their lives with a four-legged friend instead of a human partner.
'This could be due to the numerous benefits that e with dog ownership - from the psychological to the physical.
'Dogs help their owners unwind
whether that's with a daily walk in fresh air
or with a cuddle on a sofa. They can also be great listeners
help their owners bat stress
and can play a part in improving the health and fitness of their o-legged counterparts.'
Noheless
for those dog owners who are still looking for love
the research suggests their pet might help.
More than a fifth of those questioned said they had been asked out on a date or found love while out with their dog
with beagles
springer spaniels and German Shepherds appearing best for attracting a potential partner.
People who owned golden retrievers and cis were also very likely to say their pet may have helped them out romantically.
Mr Lambert said: 'This is quite unsurprising when you consider that dogs are a great ice-breaker
when strangers may otherwise not look ice at each other
and that we tend to have very positive associations about people who love dogs.'
Among those responding to the survey
21 percent said they were more likely to date someone who also had a dog.
