Biz. Is owning a dog worth the cost? Consider a higher than average connection with the animal because of autism.

Yes, unless you live in a city, in which case the answer is probably.

I do have a yard, but he wont have a doggy door. But it is an enclosed yard with a wooden privacy fence. I dont work currently. Will be going back to work some time next year unless link moons to like 5 to 10 bucks first. Even if not, I'll probably only work part time.

Cats are cool and all. But I kind of want a pupper. Actually like pic related. I have a chance to rescue a rottie about 8 months old. I've met him, hes sweet, havent seen any aggression whatsoever from him, hes fixed, and has had all his shots. No papers or anything. Tail is docked (poor baby). Both the parents were 120+ lb dogs.

No. Dogs are anchors. They trap you in an unhealthy relationship by virtue of being incredibly loyal and inspiring of your empathy. While they aren't as bad as women, they take a lot of your time and money.

My dogs alright

But I take him places almost everyday and he's a lot of work.

The companionship is what makes it worth it though. He's still kinda young but I've had other dogs and overall it's worth it. People trust you more too and they'll come talk to you just to pet your dog

[Anonymous No.16155650]

yes, anon dogs are a great investment, life really is at LEAST 33% better with a dog friend. plus ladies love them if that's your bag. also, please rescue.

There is a primal connection between man and dogs that is hard-wired into us through millennia of co-operation.

Cost is not even something I would consider, they are invaluable as companions and security.

[Anonymous No.16155849]

Totally worth it, but it's almost as much commitment as a child (albeit, a semi-retarded child). You gotta walk it at least three times a day, don't feed it junk, and take it to vet for checkups a couple times a year (at the very least - depending on the dog's health).

Your relationship with your dog is different to that with other people. Don't mix up to two or think one is a substitute for the other and you'll be fine or you'll end up like horse people.

owner of 2 pure bred rotties here. They are super sweet dogs if you socialize them. My dogs like everybody even strangers, but i never really socialized them with other dogs so they are highly aggressive when they see a stranger dog. Rotties are pretty hard headed when it comes to training. Super Stubborn. They get jealous of other dogs if you ever plan on getting another one.
They are awesome bros though, super protective, very talkative, and social.

I have high functioning chad autism and I always wonder what my dog would be like if he had the comprehension of a human. It’s clear that their souls come from the same place ours does. I like more than any human I’ve ever had in my life. Sometimes I swear he just understands me through looks alone. He speaks to me with his eyes and getting him was the best choice I ever made. He was a little bit of a brat growing up, I came home to him completely matted in shit cause he shit in his crate the very first week I had him, and he barks a little too much sometimes, but he’s just expressing feeling. I wouldn’t trade him for all the chainlink in the world.

I've had a dog and as much as I loved him I wouldn't have one again since it's a cost and time expense that would seriously drag me as a young guy with ambitions. Dogs are for when you're established in life, have your own home with a huge ass yard or if you're a wealthy person and want to keep it to protect your property.

If you live in a flat or a small house with no yard keeping pets like dogs or cats is a stupid choice.

This is actually a really good way to find out if a girl you're dating is worth it, because a woman who cant handle a dog is more than likely not able to handle children and will more often than not be the type to do frivolous shit with your money because she has no sense of responsibility.

My cat keeps catching birds, off a balcony, on the third floor apartment. Fucking wild. Upstairs to the right neighbour has some bird feeding thing and sometimes some birds come to my balcony and the second they come, my cat leaps. About every 3rd leap he catches a bird. Has caught like 10 birds in the last 2 weeks. His spot on the balcony is full of bird feathers it's crazy. 2 years ago he caught a fucking pidgeon. He brought it inside, but my mom and sister were like no he can't kill that pidgeon and they let the pidgeon go by opening the window. Fucking disappointed I didn't act fast enought to take a video or a picture. A fucking pidgeon flying around in the kitchen.

My brother had the EXACT same story as yours. She wanted a dog on the whim, lost interest after she realized it was a lot of work and few months later they broke up and she didn't even want to keep the dog.
Has to keep the dog for him often when he must work 24 hour shifts, he is pretty retarded but it's a nice dog.

Cats are more passive like. Dogs follow you around all the time and want to be with you all the time, although my second cat follows me around too. Before you take a dog, try babysitting one. I've had to babysit my sister's dog and it's kinda tiring since I got uni and other stuff and having a dog in an apartment is not ideal. But if you got a house and think you have time for a dog, then go for it, but again try dogsitting for a week and see how it is.

This
Doggosit one for a month or so
You will probably find people on the internet searching someone because they want to go to vacation or even just some guy searching someone that walks his dog while he’s at work
If you still feel like you need a dog get one
Go for an easily trainable dog with mediocre energy stay away from stuff like huskies, shepards, pitbulls if you are new to the game unless you buy an already trained one
For me though half the fun is to train your puppy and see him grow etc.
