In the war of the pets, dogs have won the latest battle – or at least their owners have.

Research discovered not only are dogs the most popular animal of choice to have in the home – dog owners are hardworking early risers, and most likely to be married.

Meanwhile cat owners are shy, single and messy, and people who own rabbits are more likely to be creative, laid back scatterbrains…
