Those of us who have dogs are very lucky. We know how wonderful dogs can be. We know how good they make us feel. But many kids don't have dogs. No dogs allowed where they live.
Dogs can cost too much money.
No time to care for a dog. Some kids decide to get another kind of pet that they can love. There are many different kinds of pets that you can get if you can't have a dog. Some take more care than others. Remember, they all take a commitment to love and care for them.
