Responsibilities Of A Dog Owner

The responsibility of an owner or in the other way round, responsible ownership starts before purchasing a dog and never after bringing the dog home. After bringing the dog the responsibility only magnifies. The sense of responsibility starts with at least a short term study about the dogs to know the pros and cons of the story.

Ask certain questions to yourself before you bring the little pooch to your home.
1. Is the breed I am looking for really suites me?
2. Is the home I live in apt for a dog?
3. Do all the members of my family love dogs?
4. Dogs cant be left alone for a long span of time. Am I okay with this?
5. Money you may have. But the other two essential things that is really needed to upkeep a dog, are Time and Energy. Can I afford these for my dog?
6. In the knowledge that, having a pet means having my own child, which is an aspect with high degree of responsibility and demands a lot of sacrifice, can I still afford to keep a dog?
Well, YOUR LITTLE CUTE PUPPY HAS SOMETHING TO SAY :

1. PLEASE ALLOW ME TIME TO UNDERSTAND YOUR BEHAVIOUR, YOUR FAMILY AND THE PLACE.
2. YOU CAN HAVE EVERYTHING -- YOUR OFFICE, YOUR COLLEAGUES, YOUR CHESSBOARD, YOUR SWIMMING POOL --- BUT I HAVE GOT NONE BUT YOU. PLEASE LOVE ME .... IT'S ENOUGH.
4. I NEED ONLY THREE THINGS TO THRIVE WELL -- PURE LOVE, GOOD FOOD AND FRESH WATER.
3. MY LIFE SPAN IS ONLY 9 TO 12 YEARS. ANY SEPARATION FROM YOURSELF DURING MY OLDER DAYS SHALL BE DESPERATELY PAINFUL FOR ME.
