If YOU REALLY want a pet, a companion,....

 ...and not a toy you buy for your GF to show your love becos once u fall out of love with GF, what's gonna happen to the loving furry pet?
... and not a cute pet you play with until it gets bigger & you grow tiresome of it. Pets gets very attached to their 'masters' by the day. What do u do?
...and not an expensive purchase u can brag to your friends, What happens when the maintenance cost becomes too high - grooming fees, special pet food, vet fees?
...and not a guard dog you buy and tie-up so it becomes fierce enough to bite anyone!
