Before heading down and walking through the pound just in agony trying just to choose one pet

Before heading down and walking through the pound just in agony trying just to choose one pet, I decided to choose a pet that would be ideal for my lifestyle. But, always being around dogs, cats, and fish, how does one choose, “an ideal pet?’ All pets can make good companions, but sometimes their needs and can be conflicting with the owners.
With a 10 year perspicacity with a vet degree, and a dog inside my house, I have to ratiocinate that the dog i own is undeniably the best pet that a man could own. Dogs deserve their title of ‘man’s best friend’. They are wonderful and I know I will always have one in my life. I think cats make the perfect pet because they are playful, intelligent, and good companions.
One characteristic of an ideal pet is being playful. Playful can be defined as whimsical and amicable around other people. Dogs are very social animals and need lots of interaction. The human species spend around 6000 years domesticating the wolf into a dog. The 6000 years effort is a concrete proof that the dog is an ideal partner.
Other common pets such as horses, are still used nowadays, but they are domesticated because of their function. Yes they are rideable, and friendly, but it takes a lot of effort to break and train a horse.
