Dog Owners

I missed doing this for National Dog Day or whatever the hell it was called, but here's a quick look at how dog ownership correlates with other factors.

As compared to non-owners, dog owners tend to be:

• more politically conservative
• more likely Republican
• more likely to believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible
• younger
• less educated
• watch less TV news
• read fewer newspapers

This is based on 2012 national survey data provides by ANES. When I have time, I'm gonna do a more complete cat vs dog owners because I have both questions available in a nice, fat data set with lots of other variables.
