Pets fit into our routines and help us satisfy both emotional and social needs, and are also associated with fostering inter-species bonds. The division of responsibilities in the family serves as an indicator of wellbeing for both humans and animals. Research into such relationships allows for a better understanding of the different stages of family life. The article analyses inter-species family relationships in the context of young couples who have a dog as a member of their family. It examines how the presence of a dog affects the lives of young people, and whether the additional responsibilities related to pet care affect their wellbeing. In addition, it describes how pet-care duties are shared between partners and analyses whether this affects their life satisfaction and family relationships.}, title={A Couple and a Dog.
