You probably know a lot about our furry friends, but did you know any of these interesting facts?
Background:
Dogs were domesticated over 15,000 years ago. We’ve developed many different types of dog breeds by concentrating on specific features and traits.
Popularity
Worldwide today, there are an estimated 400 million dogs…and in the U.S. alone, there are 83.3 billion dogs owned. Dogs rank as the number two most popular pet owned in the U.S. (shortly proceeded by cats at 95.6 million). When it comes to our beloved dogs, 47 percent of all homes have a dog.
Pet Ownership
In the last year, there have been eight million new pet owners. 10 percent of all current pet owners are new pet owners. These numbers seem to only increase!
As you know, it takes a lot of love, patience and commitment to be a dog owner. Your pal provides countless years of cherished memories. You never doubt their loyalty or that they’ll do everything in their power to protect you from harm. It’s time to help return the favor with 24/7 home security with ADT monitoring.
