I want to get a dog so i need your help?

I have two dogs, but my parents are pet lovers. So I never had to persuade them. But a good thing to say to persuade your mom is to say, It teaches me responsibility. Don't lie, if you say you can take care of it, you need to. If you want a dog to snuggle with I would recommend a Boston Terrier. They don't drool and barely shed! :) My terrier loves to snuggle and she sleeps in my bed too, well when I let her :P
