Now, tally up your answers!
Mostly A’s: You need a dog.
FINALLY, someone who’s always willing to cuddle with you even if their arm falls asleep and even if you haven’t showered for four days. You can always count on a dog for unconditional love and no drama—something boyfriends/girlfriends can’t always guarantee. Your friends will totally approve of your pup, and they’ll prob be jealous that they didn’t snag one first. Sure, your dog might get jealous easily and raise his voice occasionally, but he makes up for it with kisses and great hair. Plus, you deserve someone who jumps up and down when you walk in the room and absolutely can’t get enough of you.
Mostly B’s: You need a lover.
You might be a fan of animals, but nothing compares to having someone you can actually talk to and connect with. I mean, your pet makes a great listener, but in reality, not every canine is as smart as Scooby Doo. You need somebody who will pig out and watch a movie with you but can also chat about life. This person also recognizes that you have *needs* and can help you satisfy them. Besides, caring for a pet can sometimes be ruff.
Mostly C’s: You need both.
You’re needy AF, but that just means you deserve both a sig other AND a pup who will give you plenty of attention! You need the annoying constant love from a dog and the deeper human connection from a lover. You also may or may not have used the words “good boy” or “bad boy” in a sexual context. Maybe look for a guy with shaggy blonde golden retriever-esque hair or a woman with blue husky eyes. Or just, ya know, adopt a dog with your lover because the quiz said so.
