Hi William
I suggest you keep a dog.
Firstly,dog are our accommodating and loyal companions that brings us lots of joy.When you feel depressed,just stroke their soft fur .Second,they can act as a defender that we can count on.Some big dogs are able to keep us safe by their sensitive noses.What’s more,dogs are more enthusiastic than cats and have a lots of physical activity.Walking dogs can make us feel less routine.
Generally,dog is our sunrise-like friend,making our lives colorful and rewarding.Hope the above is helpful for you to make a decision!
