I'm really torn about a decision everyone. My friend found a dog in the street, he was beat up and not looking good, and his hipbone is broken. She's taking care of him for the time being but already has a dog.
I've always thought about getting a dog but since I travel and live so carefree I'm torn about this decision. This particular dog is older ~ 6-7 years, and big. I work all day but could also work half days from home so that's not much of an issue. I'm just so scared of commitments.
THe deal though, is that if I don't take him, no one else will. Everyone wants younger smaller dogs, not older ones who've been out in the street. I feel like I'm his only hope. I need him too, for companionship and protection, but have never adopted an older dog. Does anyone have any advice?
