My little girl is asking for a dog as her birthday gift. I'm wondering if you have good knowledge and advise so you can tell me what to do
I just love dogs. They have a long association with humans which has led to the term a mans best friend.  They are loyal, loving and always pleased to see you!!  I would be careful with young children though so it depends on your daughters age.
Amazing, so you would totally recommend. My daughter is 8 years old. She should be alright with it i think
8 is a good age. Dogs with good natures are labradors, poodles, collies, golden retrievers.  depends on what size you are looking.  Aparently dogs are relations of the grey wolf!
Poodle and Coollie sounds just girly enough for her, but tell me more about grey wolf, you just sparked my curiosity
Well as the story goes the direct ancestor of the dog is extinct but our modern day grey wolves are their closest living relatives.  Random fact I know lol.
Do you have any idea about the feed cost of a dog? I bet it's as good as adopting a new kid to feed
It can cost over 1 thousand dollars a year to feed and think of the vet bills but on the other side, dogs perform many roles including hunting, protecting, companionship, therapeutic roles and of course your daughters best friend!
Amazing. Do you have any other advise about how to care for a dog so that it behaves and doesn't bit randomly? or even knows where to poo?
That just takes a lot of time and practice im afraid.  But as long as you train young they will be fine.  Goodluck with your first mans best friend.
