My cat. With cats you get a better bang-for-your-buck in terms of maintenance costs vs years of utility.
(please don’t be offended, this is meant as a joke. I love dogs. However I do refuse to get one because I personally am too emotionally delicate to fall in love with someone who I know might not be around for more than 12 years. I know it’s better to have loved and lost, etc, but I don’t know if I could handle it. Everyone who adopts an older dog, you are my hero)

I got my cats for free, so that was a really good value in my case.
I just adopted a senior dog two weeks ago while I love her very much, my brain is already jumping to conclusions 🥺
