Should people own dogs?

Most people think that having a dog is a mess and it is a waste of time and money. People think dogs are too needy and require too much attention. People say "Dog's are dog's" and people should treat them like dogs.

I believe people should have dogs. Yes, dogs may be mischievous and at first, a lot of work. It is just like having a kid. When a baby is born you have to nurture it, care for it and teach it right from wrong. Same things with dogs at first you have to train your dog and in training them, there are memories created.
 
Dogs are there for you whenever you need them. If you are having a bad day, they will always be there for you no matter what. Forget about the money, just think about the memories you will have with them.

I had always wanted a dog, ever since I was younger. When my sister came home with her dog Tyson, that made me want a dog even more and it has been the best decision of my life. I didn't tell my dad I was getting a dog (sorry dad) because I knew he would say no for the same reasons I listed above, and on December 19th I brought Leila May home. Yes my dad was upset, but now he loves her and is always playing with her and giving her treats. My dog is always there when I need her to be.

She greats me at the door, wags her tail until I play fetch with her and will never be mad at me if i don't play fetch with her. She is always there to greet me at the door.

Maybe dogs are not for everyone, try babysitting one. It may cause you to change your mind!
