调查发现，人类亲吻狗的次数多于亲吻伴侣

With all the unconditional love and loyalty dogs shower us with, they are no doubt the best creatures in the world. The least we can do is reassure them that we value their efforts. And we do. Apparently, over half of dog owners in the U.S. kiss their pets more than their partners, a new study says.

狗给予我们无条件的爱和忠诚，它们无疑是世界上最好的动物。我们至少能让他们放心，我们重视他们的努力。一项最新调查显示，美国超过一半的狗主人亲吻宠物的次数超过亲吻伴侣的次数。

The research was conducted by Riley’s Organics, as per PEOPLE.com, who wanted to find out just how close dog owners are to their beloved pets. After asking people across the U.S. how much TLC (tender loving care) they give their furry friends, the organic dog treat company was happy to hear that it was quite a lot, actually.

If these numbers surprise you, Riley’s Organics has an explanation that puts everything into perspective. One of the most resounding responses came from a question about what do humans think of the bond they share with their dogs. An overwhelming 94% of pet owners said they consider their dog as one of their best friends.

如果你对这些数字感到惊讶，莱利的《有机物》一书中有一个解释，可以让你对一切都有一个正确的认识。最响亮的回答之一来自一个问题:人类如何看待他们与狗之间的关系?绝大多数94%的宠物主人表示，他们把狗视为最好的朋友之一。

No wonder we show dogs so much affection. We’re simply letting our best buds know they’re special.

难怪我们会对狗狗表现出如此多的喜爱。我们只是让我们最好的朋友知道它们很特别。
