If you need motivation to exercise get a dog, I got a puppy in April, needed motivation to walk and he's helped alot. been using my fitness Pal for the last 3 weeks steady and dropped 12 pounds. A dog can give you motivation to walk if you don't really want to.

This is true!
I don't have a dog right now but i used to walk my baby a lot ❤️0 -
terrible post! dogs are a serious commitment, to be acquired only after proper consideration and planning. shelters are full of pups bought by some bozo why thought it would fix their health, relationship, security issues, etc.

Why yes, yes I have.
then you'll know that the world is full of idiots who will read that post and take it as what he said, not what you think he meant. and the shelters are full of their victims.

Glad a puppy helps you, OP. Pets are out of my budget.0

I got my dog for exactly the same reason @UltimateRBF. Turns out she's the best physiotherapist I've ever had! She's also the first of her breed to qualify as an Assistance Dog in the UK ::proudmum::

Erm, I bought a fitbit for motivation to walk more; not a living creature.0

I got my dog because I was lonely and wanted something to take care of. Guess I'm an idiot also.
And that is a good reason to get a dog or indeed any pet.

Some people love dogs because they hate people. Naturally, they think that most people are unworthy of a dog.0

Well, why not impregnate someone? Most of the people I know with small children seem to spend a lot of their time running around...probably an even better way to get exercise than a dog!0

No. Most of us who love dogs want them to go to loving homes and not be a fashion or fitness accessory
Edit. The dog in my avatar is my mothers who has both the time and space to devote to one. I unfortunately do not, so have deferred in giving one a forever home until I can.0 -
I have owned many dogs, all of them rescue dogs or strays. I stand by my observation.0

Yep.
That said I love my dog more than most people...so ultimately I'm not sure where I fall on that spectrum :P
