Unsurprising, really.

According to the Times of London, two studies in the UK have found that humans love dogs more than other people.

As awful as this may sound, we have to say we're not surprised.

Two fake charity donations were set up by a UK medical research company, one that featured a dog & the other that featured a grown man.

Fake newspaper clippings were shown to students. One was about a baseball attack on a puppy, another about a grown dog, another about a year-old child and the other about a 30 year old adult.

When it came to feelings of empathy and sympathy, the grown human came last .

Northeastern researchers said

“Respondents were significantly less distressed when adult humans were victimized, in comparison with human babies, puppies and adult dogs".
