Adopting a dog is a fine thig to do, because many wonderful homeless dogs benefit, and because people benefit from their companionship, unconditional love, beauty, and entertainment value. However, if you have never cared for a dog before, there are some things to consider. If you are away at work all day, you should look into getting two puppies or dogs that get along well and will keep each other company. A pet should be compatible with you in personality and temperament. Do you want a “couch potato” dog or an energetic, playful pet? Puppies are a lot of fun, but their high energy levels and changing nutritional needs mean they require more attention, and puppy immunizations can be expensive. Adult dogs are a better choice if you want a calmer, more relaxed pet that has already learned the basics of self-care and socialization. You must be prepared for the serious commitment of time, attention, and money that goes along with caring for a pet as a family member for 10 to 20 years. What is the author’s main purpose?A. To compare and contrast the behaviors of different dogsB. To argue in favor of adopting adult dogs instead of puppiesC. To give the reader advice to consider adopting dogsD. To persuade more people that they should adopt homeless dogs
