M: Mom, can we get a dog?

W: Dogs need a lot of attention, Jeffrey. Do you think you can handle that kind of responsibility? It’s harder than you think.

M: Of course I can. I’ll take it for walks every day, and clean up after it.

W: Do you know what kind of dog you want?

M: Yes, I’ve been looking at some pictures on the Internet. This one with the long golden hair is named Lion.

W: He’s very cute, but we don’t have enough room for a dog that big. Those dogs need space to run around, and we live in an apartment. I think we should get a small one.

M: OK, then what about this one? My friend has one like this, and everyone likes it.

W: Those kinds of dogs always have health problems. Plus, they bark a lot. We don’t want to annoy our neighbors.

M: So what do you suggest?

W: First, we aren’t getting one from a pet store. They are too expensive. I know a place that saves dogs and gives them away for free.

M: OK.

W: And second, you need to show me you have the sense of responsibility. That means cleaning your room, doing your homework, and helping around the house.

M: I promise!
