the internets love of dogs / research - survey

To gain a better understanding of the general public's view of dog memes I conducted a survey. The survey asked a total of eight questions:

- What is your favourite dog meme and why?
- Do you have a favourite 'dog personality' on social media?
- If so, which dog is it?
- On a scale of 0-100 with 100 being the highest, how much do you enjoy looking at dog memes?
- Where do you tend to view dog memes? E.g. facebook / twitter
- Who is your favourite dog meme provider?
- What is your all-time favourite dog meme?
- What is your favourite word associated with dog memes?
