Ever been out on the town and wish you were at home instead, snuggling up to your pet?

Yeah…us,  too!

In fact, more than half of us have chosen staying at home with our dogs rather than socializing with our friends, according to the New York Post.

Not only that, our dogs help us get through an average of five stressful events every week…even major life events like breakups or a death in the family.

No wonder your trusty companion gets a little extra love every now and again!
