Just wondering peoples personal opinions? How do you feel dogs (or any other pet for that matter) benefit a family?

I don't know if important is the word I would use. Love my pets but right now I can honestly say when they are gone I will not be replacing them.
Interesting.
My family had a dog (about 4 years ago) of whom we had lost to cancer. But because my mom is a stay at home mom, she was with her on her final days. Now both my father and I feel that another dog is needed in the house, but my mom was so devastated that she refuses to look past the bad times to get to the good. thanks for your thoughts on the topic.

Only drawback I see is that two dogs of over 60 and 70 pounds do a lot of "business" out in the backyard you gotta keep up with!
Maybe I can become Smallie Almighty?! heheheTeach them to use the toilet!

It's been well over a year since I put old Bill down. We keep joking about another, but heaven help me if I lost another in 12 or 15 years. Not to mention how expensive it gets when were on the road.
Liz thinks I need a Chuwawa (sp), lol. I have ears, hehe

New pets really do help the bad times with past pets.
Four years ago, the day after Christmas, my cat at age 19 died. We were all devastated...for 19 years we had had her. Then in mid-January we got another cat and it really helped us look past the bad/sad stuff from our last cat. We still have her picture and ashes on a shelf in our house, but our new cat really helped.
When my kids were growing up, we had an Old English Sheepdog named Clancy. He was a big part of our family and was great for the kids. He taught them how to love unconditionally, how to be responsible for something other than themselves, and was fantastic at guarding them from harm.
I would recommend them to families. I don't want one now because they are like having a perpetual 2 year old in the house and I have aged beyond the desire for that. Dogs are great, but not for me now.
