Justin Theroux is a well-known animal lover. But does the 42-year-old love his pooches more than his fiancée, Jennifer Aniston?

While talking about a myriad of topics with Amy Sedaris in Interview magazine, she asked “Finish this sentence: Happiness is a thing called…”

Theroux simply responded, “My dogs.”

Sedaris replied, “You love your dogs.”

He responded “And my lady, of course.”

Aniston, 45, certainly came across as an afterthought in the conversation.

At the start of the interview, Sedaris asks if he was ever obsessed with anything as a child. Theroux said he loved his dogs very much as a kid.

It seems not much as changed.

He and Aniston welcomed a puppy to their family in February 2012, People confirmed.
