A recent survey of 24,000 people in 23 countries found that 21 percent of adults would rather spend February 14 with their pet than their significant other. Hmmm…I really like Oscar, Shanti, and Indie, but I would have to give the nod to Barbara — at least on Valentine’s day 
The survey said 25 percent of people aged under 35 opted for their pet over their partner compared to 18 percent of those aged 35-54 and 14 percent of people aged 55 plus. Gives new meaning to puppy love.
On a country-by-country basis, residents of Turkey were the most likely, at 49 percent, to choose their pet over their significant other. On the other hand, the nations where residents were the least likely to want to spend the day with a pet instead of their significant other were France at 10 percent.
