We sure do love our family pets!

Move over Fido, Fluffy, and Rover. According to the most recent survey done by the American Animal Hospital Association of over 1,200 pet owners, 51 percent are giving their pet a human name. When asked who they rely on most for affection, 47 percent said their pet, even over their spouse and child! And, when asked if they were marooned on an island and could have only one companion, 42 percent picked a dog -- a close second to the 46 percent who chose a human!

Here's some other responses to the survey about their animal friends.
