THEY may be a man's best friend, but research asserts that having a dog will do nothing for a happy household.
A study has found that a family dog will cause almost 2000 family arguments in its lifetime - that's 156 rows a year over an average dog's lifespan of 12.8 years.The most common cause of canine-related conflict is what to do with the dog during holidays, closely followed by whose turn it is to walk the mutt.
A quarter of owners also regularly row about where the dog should be allowed in the house, with the most frequent battlefields being the bed and the couch.

Some families just shouldn't have dogs... or kids??? JMHO.
Just owning a dog, as an image booster for show and tell, just doesn't get it. It's not like owning a fancy sports car that sits in the garage---patiently and silently, waiting for the key to turn on.
It's all about relationship, and communication, and interaction, and commitment!!! It's in the giving (of ourselves) that the rewards are found and felt... and that... can be magical.

My Big Dog is the best thing I have ever had in my life.....other than my daughter. Since she is a teenager, my dog loves me more.
