Free Money Finance has a whole category dedicated to pets (http://www.freemoneyfinance.com/pets/) and makes it obvious that he thinks they are a horrible financial decision. I decided to look at it over the long-term. When all is accounted for are they really THAT bad of a decision? That is up to you to decide :) @Roger

Puppies (and most dogs act like puppies, at least when they want attention) are adorable, and finding someone to argue against dogs on financial merits is likely impossible.
