I just thought of something else, too. Another reason why I like dogs is that you need to care for them. Having a pet is a big responsibility, and buying a pet to just sit around and do nothing with is a little less than moral in my eyes. Part of the joy of having a pet is being able to play with it, and care for it, and by buying an animal that needs no care, you are skipping out on the responsibility that comes with a pet, and I think this tends to be the wrong reason to buy a pet. To be blunt, if you don't have the time or desire to truly care for the animal, don't get one.
