How can I convince my parents to let me get a dog?

I am 13 and I have been asking my parents for a dog. at first it was a total no, and that almost made me want to give up! but then I asked my parents why and they said mostly because of furniture wrecking, and potty training. I said I will take care of potty training, and I know how to prevent runiture destruction. so after I told my dad that I have been using my time by researching how to properly care for a dog, his attitude changed. later that day he asked me to print up a list of hypoallergenic dogs, and that made me realize that I might be getting a dog! so when I printed up the list, I also took the liberty of highlighting easy-to-care dogs, and even got pictures of the ones I prefered. after he saw that, he looked very pleased. after I gave him that list (yesterday) we havent spoken of the subject. I dont know what else I can do from here that will convince my parents to get me a dog! can anyone help?? thanks sooo much! =]
