    To an extent, yes. I'm guessing you probably have a homebody nature, which is definitely normal. However, if you get to the point where you're telling your actual friends or family that you can't see them because you have to watch tv with your dog, that's probably not healthy. However if someone you don't like asks you to do something, by all means tell them you made plans with your dog and you just can't break them. :-)

    I have a gray cat who kicks ass. I definitely prefer her over most humans.

    There is nothing better than spending time with someone who doesn't judge you :). My dog is always happy to see me and is my best friend.

  • TLC should do a new programme about people who prefer & choose the company of their pets over any companionship with other humans. Extreme pet-lovers are fairly common, but I believe the majority of people like other people as well as their pets.

    People treat each other like shit so i don't really blame you.

      But people can also form an emotional, intellectual and physical bond with people that surpasses any subservient pet and master relationship.

      If where you are everybody treats everybody like shit, I suggest you move.

    Of course. Animals may not be able to communicate like humans, but they can't hurt you like a human can. Plus they're cute! ^_^

    I have a lot of pets (over 100) including dogs a cat and reptiles. I also have 3 kids. Aside from spending time with my kids which I prefer over all, I like spending time with my pets. I prefer then to a lot of humans. Yes I have friends and regular contact with people but my pets don't judge or run people down! I have a python called lulu and just sitting with her is more calming than being with a lot of humans!!

    Liking a pet more than the ones in your life that are closest to you.. (Siblings, mother and father) No that's not normal.

    But liking your pets more than most of the "I shall be quick to judge" and other annoying dipshits out there who think they can tell you what to do?.. Yes, very normal indeed.

    Well that's the way i feel about it.

    normal
    the human race is a disgrace
    I also hate every one.
    i have very few friends. The few friends I have are like myself, animal savy, and love their pets more than humans.

    Your kinda a jerk Moonbow. People like you are the reason I really don't like people very much. Animals don't hurt you, unless you are hurting them or a HUMAN trains them to be like that. Be nicer, you don't know how your words are going to affect others.

    A smile or kind word can go a long way, but unfortunately a cruel word will go much farther.

    I am what people call antisocial. I only really hang out with family...sometimes.
    People piss me off too much. But my cat almost always makes me happy!

    It depends, just as everyone else has pointed out. But honestly, I think it's creepy.

    I know a woman who loves her dogs so much she spoils them and talks to them like they understand. I guess that wouldn't be a bad thing, but she doesn't pick up thier shit in her back yard, or mop her floors (she keeps them in the house and sleeps with them in her room). Messed up, it is.

    Yes! I love all 3 of my dogs and all 9 of my cats! They are part of the family and are always there to comfort you when you're feeling down!

    I am so SICK of seeing this same fucking question asked by everyone under age 10 who joins Is It Normal? If you love your freaking dog more than you love humans, it is because YOU are such a despicable excuse for a human being that no other human can stand to be around you and, therefore, if you have any companionship at all, it has to be from your filthy, ass-licking, shit-eating fleabag! Now grow up and get a freaking life, you immature BRAT! One other thing, bestiality is illegal in most states in the US and many countries, so keep on "loving" dogs and you'll end up in freaking jail and Good Riddance!
