Should I still get a dog?

When my dad was little he got bit by a dog. Every time I bring up the subject he yells. I really want a dog really badly. Should I still get a dog or get a different animal?

Answer #1

get a beagle or a golden retriever

Answer #2

It’s not really a matter of ‘should you’…it’s up your dad whether or not you’re going to get a dog,and it sounds like a big ‘no’.

Answer #3

I was bite by a dog when I was younger too but I would drop the subject for right now. talk to him about another pet something like a small animal, like hamster or something like that. I hope I helped you.

Answer #4

No, because it would not be fair on the dog to live in a place where not everybody wants the dog around, the dog will pick up on that, so I don’t think thats such a good idea. Maybe just wait until you move out when you are older.

It really is up to your dad… so… no, you can’t get a dog.

Answer #5

well my brother got bit by a dog when he was younger (I was only like 7 + I cant remember if it was a dream oor real) aha, but I think it was real well hes fine now anyways but it was quite a tough dog. I think if you do you should get a labrador or retreiver (there sooo nicee) but normally when a parent says no, its a no. so you might have loads of convincing. good luck xD

Answer #6

my mom got bit by a dog…. a german shepard and now my family owns 2 dogs one a puggle and the other a doberman shepard rotti mix. i would suggest getting a loyal dog like a retriver or lab or get a small dog that even if it did bite it wouldnt hurt. when a dog bites it could be scared or protective but sometimes it depends on how the owner trains it. if the owner trains it poorly then it will bite and growl at you. my doberman is the sweetest thing in the world and wouldnt hurt anyone. hope this helps you!
