A study showed that throughout its lifetime, a dog will cause almost 2,000 family arguments, the Daily Mail reported.

That amounts to 156 rows a year, or three a week, over a dog's average lifespan of 12.8 years.

The most common cause of canine-related conflict is what to do with the dog during holidays, closely followed by whose turn it is to brave the elements for walkies.

A quarter of owners also regularly row about where the dog should be allowed to go in the house, with the most frequent battlefields being the bed, the sofa and upstairs.

據(jù)英國《每日郵報》報道，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，一條狗在一生中可能會造成近2000起家庭爭吵。

狗的壽命平均是12.8年，也就是說在它的一生中會導致家庭一年吵156次架，相當于一周三次。

其中，關(guān)于狗最容易引起爭吵的話題就是假期怎么安置，緊接著是誰將不畏艱難去遛狗。

四分之一的主人經(jīng)常會因為讓狗呆在家里的哪個位置而吵架，床、沙發(fā)和樓梯往往是爭吵的焦點。
