I have found dogs are more of a pain in the ass than kids. Having a dog is like having a kid that is stuck in the early toddler years in terms of effort IMO. Also far less rewarding, as a dog won’t really change much over time once it gets to adulthood fairly quickly.

If you could have a dog for some significant length of time, a kid will be no problem by comparison.

Dogs really need a job. They were domesticated to work along side us. Any owner should invest in training them.

Ironically, it is kind of the same with kids, kids really need a job and cultures that put the kids to work doing chores and things at an early age seem to raise better adjusted kids.
