If you get a dog, get a puppy. They are more fun and you will like them more and of course they will like you more since they will grow around you. Older dogs are fun if you live in a village. My father used to go hunting so we adopted this dog from a friend of ours, the dog would go missing for like a day and we would always find it on the friends house eheh. But that was one of the strongest and smartest dogs ive ever had, so were its puppies hehe. Good times, whatever you do you gonna have fun.
