Heh. I had some friends who got married because of their dogs. It's how they met, how they bonded, and the wedding was mildly structured around them. Some people really like dogs, and it shows.

I can take or leave them.

The way I like to describe it is like the joke grandparents make about being a grandparent: "It's great, I can come over and love and spoil the kid then I get to leave."

No dealing with all the extra bullshit that comes with dogs, barking, begging, chewing, walks, accidents, etc etc...

No worse than kids, and people never seem to shut the fuck up about those.

So the same, then, meaning it should absolutely be a conversation and agreement about responsibility accepted by both parties.

“I want to have a baby” and “I want to get a puppy” are things people say when they browse Instagram and aren’t committed to what those things mean.

“I want to raise a child to the best of my ability until it’s an adult” and “I want to take care of a dog and provide it with everything it needs until it eventually dies in my care” are what they really should say.
