There are no stats for this question. However, dog owners are growing and the owners are from all walks of life. Some psychiatrists use a dog in their office to keep their patients calm (child/adult.) Children's hospitals will also use dogs as well as nursing homes. It's a proven fact that pets that owners love (be it dog, cat, bird, fish, etc.) will lower a person's blood pressure significantly. Stats say that dog owners that truly love their pets will live longer. Dogs can: Water-ski Scuba dive Parachute (used during WWII) Live on boats Live in construction camps (mine did) Companions for truck drivers Camping Fishing **If you live on a boat then go to your local ASPCA or SPCA (Canada) and get an adult dog. Many of these dogs need a good home, are fantastic animals, smart and willing to please. They would already know the ropes of life, and less likely to fall off the boat and drown. Puppies shouldn't be left to roam around a boat. Dogs are extremely loyal and they will do almost anything to please their owners. Most dogs are extremely protective of their owners and families and don't think little dogs are left out when it comes to being great watch dogs. My Bichon Frise' is 20 lbs., and muscular and she means business. If I give the word "OK" she will back off. A small dog can go up someones leg like a rusty can opener. I also own a cat that is a good "watch cat" and you don't mess with "Molly Brown!" I only have to say "attack" and she'd be on someone like ugly on an ape. She's smart and I take full advantage of that. She's loving, yet loyal and watches over our family. If another dog goes after one of my dogs, the cat goes so ballistic that dog never enters our property again and that goes for Pitt Bulls! LOL Marcy

Because dogs love their owners. They smell the scent off their owners clothing and how much more personal can you get then your own underwear!
Yes, of course! Their owners get paid, or the agencies that 'own' them.
cats outnumber dogs by ALOT!
yes people who own cats are very in active unlike people who own dogs they are 100 percent heathy
3 dogs per family unity is the 'norm' in California, average of 3.01 dogs per household.
The most precise figure I found online - 43,143,849 - came from American Pet Association polls (from 1998 through 2001): "There are 43,143,849 dog owners in the United States, who own a total of 61,542,900 million dogs, and there are 74,894,580 million cats for a total of 136,437,480 pets."

I would say about 75% of the people in the U.S.A own dogs and 50% own cats. Sorry to say to all the cat lovers out there.
it depends on the owners. though rottweiler are medium tempered there are some who attacts even their own masters.
They require alot of attention, but are good dogs. they are also protective.
Owners don't control where dogs poop!
