If you could have any animal for a pet,what would it be?

If I could have any pet it would is simply a dog. The reason why I just want a dog is because I already know how to take care of them. The dog would be either a beagle or a dalmatian.  I would have a scheduled  time for everything I do with the dog. I would walk it in the mornig until I have to go to school. Before I leave, I would put a bowl of food and water for it.  When I got home I would play with it until i need to do homework.
