A recent study from Eötvös Loránd University links dog ownership to declining birth rates among couples, highlighting a societal shift. Professor Kubinyi notes that dog owners often exhibit negative views of motherhood, which may contribute to lower willingness to have children.

In Australia, spending on dogs has reached an average of $1,932.88 annually, emphasizing the strong bond formed with pets versus traditional parenting roles.
