It sounds like you’re asking whether it’s a good idea for your aunt to get a dog, correct?
assistant
Yes she is lonely and I was thinking about a dog for her.

It’s really hard to generalize a question like this, because dog-ownership is really individual, based on each individual and their dogs.  But I know a lot of people who have gotten a dog for their elderly parent, and these dogs really make a huge difference in their lives.  I imagine that your aunt would be incredibly thankful to get a dog to love and take care of.
assistant
Yes I think it may help her a lot. She is so sad sometimes.
