[quote=Anonymous]A fun, happy dog beats out even the best cat for bonding with a teen (also don't underestimate how much cat allergies will keep your friends from visiting). Dogs are great companions. Our spaniel doubles as both our pet and our family therapist. But others are right that a dog can be a big time commitment too. My bit of advice is to adopt a dog that is a couple of years old, so it's mellowed out a bit and doesn't need constant exercise. But make sure that it is a sweet, outgoing dog. The hunting/hound breeds are usually great with older kids and sweet to be around. There are a couple of rescue groups in DC that bring to DC hounds that they pick up from shelters in the South. Some truly fun, sweet dogs, and sometimes old enough that they will be happy to hang out being petted and read to.[/quote]
