The jury of one

dogsTennis star Maria Sharapova recently said that any future husband may have to fight for her affections with her dog. It seems that her potential husband won’t be alone.

A British survey has revealed the extraordinary lengths people will go to for their pets.

Almost one third of the respondents said they would sell valuable personal possessions to pay a large vet bill, and about 11 per cent would even re-mortgage their house.

But, it’s the women’s devotion to their four legged companions that stands out.

When asked who they would insure first, almost two thirds more women than men said they would choose their pet over their other half.

It seems a woman will stand by her dog, rather than man.

So men, make pals with the dog because that’s the jury you have to convince!

    Never understood until the whole Michael Vick saga…

    I am sure it has saved a few people who were in the dark or just plain took things for granted…

    I think that since dogs don’t talk, they have a 100% chance not to screw up when with a woman, yeah they might poop on the rug, but a woman won’t get mad at that. They get emotionally tied to each other and they form a trust, which I would think is harder to do with people. But hey thats my two cents.
