Have some fun and take our poll
If you had to choose between a sweetheart and a pet, who would you dump?
An AP-Petside.com poll says 84 percent of current pet owners would keep the human. But a sizable 14 percent would choose pet over paramour.
Sally Roland in Omaha, Neb., is in the dog-first camp. She's divorced and jokes that might explain it.
According to the poll, the unmarried are more apt to choose their pet over their mate — 25 percent among versus 8 percent. Women are far more likely than men to say the choice would be a tough one, 40 percent to 26 percent.
