Outweigh The Benefits Of Having A Dog

I would like it if my parents would allow me to get a dog because they can be entertaining, they’re good for your heart, they can teach you to be more responsible, it can be a stress reliever, and it would make me be more active. I think that the perks would greatly outweigh the poor parts of having a dog. Having a dog would be very entertaining. If you have a dog, you always have something to play with (unless it’s sick). Dogs can also be very funny to watch. Sometimes they’ll do something that puts everyone in a better mood. Dogs can be very fascinating. Also, if you're ever sick, you can snuggle with your dog.

Studies have shown that dogs have been known to relieve stress and put people in better moods. If I had a dog, I probably wouldn’t lash out on my parents or siblings as much as I do now. Not only can dogs make you feel better, but they’re actually good for your heart. Scientists have found that dogs help prevent cardiovascular disease. Dogs encourage people to walk more, which helps lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. So not only would a dog be beneficial for me, but for my family as well. I know that dogs can be very expensive, can be intimidated by strangers or neighbors, they can have a temper, and be very hard to train. If a dog is trained and raised well, you don’t have to worry about it snapping at kids or trying to attack strangers as much as you would if the dog wasn’t cared for correctly when it was a puppy. Instead of paying a lot of money for a dog, you can always rescue one from a
