Having a pet in the family can be so great for your little one. I am more of a cat person but I think your little one's first pet should be a dog. Remember, you must have space and energy to have a dog. Puppies can be great but they aren't small forever. Below are reasons why getting your little one a dog is a good idea
1. Exercise:
Yes, the most obvious one. Regular exercise will be great for the two of them. There is something so great about walks in the park on a Saturday morning, your little one on their bike and the dog being happily walked. Walking the dog every day if you can. If your dog is getting fat then you're doing something wrong. Nothing personal, just a quote I read somewhere (or something to that effect).
2. Love:
We never forget our first dog/pet. The bond we feel for the animal becomes incredble. If your little one is an only child, then a bond is created that is similar to the bond with siblings.

Remind your little one about the responsibility that comes with owning a dog. Yes, cuddles are important but picking up poop, regular walks and feeding are all about the responsibilities of owning a dog.
4. Happiness
There is nothing quite like coming home to a loving dog after your little one has had a difficult day. A person can never be sad around a dog
Contact your local dog shelter (please not the SPCA) to find the perfect dog for your family.
