It is commonly said that dogs are human's best friends. But it may surprise you how much more some dog owners trust their furry best pals than their partners. 

Leading up to the Hallmark holiday of love, , a company that specializes in a variety of dog services, surveyed 500 Canadian pet owners to see how their relationship with their pets compared to the ones they have with their significant others.

The data showed that a quarter (25 per cent) of people believe their pooch is more loyal than their partner. Men were more more likely to believe that dogs are more loyal, with 30 per cent of respondents putting their faith in Fido, while 20 per cent of women said their four-legged best friends were more trustworthy.

Hilariously, the team at Rover said nearly half (46 per cent) of Canadian pet parents admitted their "pet has interrupted them during private time with a romantic partner."

Half of the pet parents (50 per cent) said they feel more confident their dog will stick by their side while 48 per cent said their humans would stay. Just under a quarter of them felt less judged by their doggos than their partners, too.

Loyalty is also an important quality in a partner, according to respondents, with 58 per cent of them expressing that it was "the most important quality." Trustworthiness and affectionate behaviour weren't far behind, at 48 per cent and 45 per cent, respectively.

The majority of respondents said golden retrievers are the canines most likely to have the aforementioned attributes. 

Despite their beloved qualities, only a third (34 per cent) of pet owners plan to pick up a Valentine's Day treat for their pooch. Even fewer of them (24 per cent) said they would post a photo with their pet on social media to mark the big day.
