Why Dogs Rock:
- Best buds: Dogs are always there for you, no matter what.
- Get moving: Walking and playing with your dog keeps you active.
- Feel good: Dogs can help you chill out and feel happier.
- Safe home: Dogs can scare away bad guys.
- Purpose: Taking care of a dog gives you a reason to get up in the morning.
The Flip Side:
- Money pit: Dogs can be expensive to feed, vet, and groom.
- Time-consuming: You need to walk your dog, play with them, and train them.
- Responsibility: Dogs are a big commitment.
- Allergic reactions: Some people can’t be around dogs without sneezing.
- Behavior issues: Dogs can bark, chew, or even be aggressive if they’re not trained right.
Before you get a dog, think about if you can handle the good and the bad.
