You get a proportion of the doggy benefits and they’re always happy to see you!
But you don’t have to deal with any of the doggy responsibilities such as taking them for walkies in the rain, or picking up their poops.

I never minded any of that, but the real challenge is time. Not all dogs are ok being left alone all day and arguably a standard workday is too long anyway.
I enjoyed having dogs when my kids were little, because someone could be home more often. But now that the kids are in college it just doesn’t work.
I’m having that argument again today. My ex had gotten a dog over my objection that neither of us would be home. Sure enough the dog barks so can’t be left alone in her condo. I can’t say no to a dog, but I’m gone for 9 hours straight and that’s inhumane (plus as the dog gets older she’s started having accidents in that time).
