Why do Americans love watching movies with their dogs?

Based on a new study, 43% of Americans would rather watch a movie with their dog than their partner.

According to the poll of 2,000 U.S. dog owners, those in a relationship said their dogs are better movie companions because they don’t interrupt (44%), don’t ask questions (42%) and are better cuddlers (35%).

Commissioned by the makers of ACANA pet food and conducted by Talker Research, the study found that 95% watch movies and shows with their dogs at home — 63% said they do it on a frequent basis.

Most of them (93%) said their dogs are able to pay attention to the screen and a third (30%) say they prefer classic TV shows and classic movies. So, even our furry best friends can’t get enough of the classics.
