Dogs are undeniably part of the family for many of us. They provide companionship and enrich our lives, and many of us can’t imagine life without at least one dog. Dogs can also be challenging, expensive and in some cases, make our lives miserable. The key to avoiding the latter is to choose carefully, making sure that you choose a dog that is right for your situation and your family lifestyle.

Consider your choices carefully before bringing a dog into your life, and understand the commitment and responsibility that comes with owning a dog .
