A survey of 1,000 people has shown that 50% of people view a pet "as much a part of the family as any other person in the household." Thirty five percent include the pet in a family portrait, and 25% of married people report that their pet is "a better listener than their spouse." Similarly, people with disabilities of all kinds are finding that a service or emotional support animal helps them in all sorts of concrete and emotional ways.
