Short Description:
This online survey of adults in Great Britain finds that nearly half of the population (45%) would describe themselves as a "dog person" over a "cat person."
Abstract:

- Dog person (45%)
- Cat person (31%)
- Neither (21%)
- Don't know (3%)
These preferences also vary by region. More than half (54%) of those living in Midlands and Wales would prefer a dog, similar to those in the North of England (52%) and Scotland (47%).
