Pete Wicks has recently stirred up a heated discussion after making a bold statement that caught fire across social media. During an interview to promote his new documentary Pete Wicks: For Dogs’ Sake, the reality TV personality candidly shared, “It might sound harsh, but I prefer dogs over people.”
Some supporters applauded Wicks’s for his sincerity and his dedication to animal rescue, while others expressed strong disappointment. Critics took to social platforms, accusing him of being insensitive and arrogant, arguing that as a public figure, he should be more careful with his words.
Pete Wicks Opens Up About His Love for Rescue Dogs
One frustrated user on X (formerly Twitter) commented, “People are facing real struggles, and he just says he prefers dogs? That’s completely out of touch.” Another added, “Celebrities like Pete Wicks must remember their influence—loving animals doesn’t mean belittling humans.”
This controversy has overshadowed the excitement around Pete’s touching documentary, which delves into the emotional lives of dog rescue centers across the UK. Pete, who shares his home with two rescue French bulldogs, Eric and Peggy, revealed how deeply dogs have impacted him, even breaking down in tears multiple times during filming.
Despite the backlash, Wicks’s has stood firm, doubling down on his belief in the unconditional love and loyalty dogs offer — something he finds much rarer in human relationships. “Dogs don’t judge, don’t betray; they just love you,” he insisted.
The debate shows no signs of fading, leaving many to wonder if Pete Wicks’ straightforward honesty will ultimately harm or benefit his career.
