Should I have a dog if I work?

Well, it’s important to have a relationship with your animal, and to take good care of it.  If your work makes it hard to have a good relationship with your dog, then maybe it’s best not to have a dog.

Okay, I thought so. How much time should I spend with my dog if I have one?

Well, depending on what kind of dog you have, you may want to spend more or less time with your dog.  For example, if your dog needs lots of attention and is a bit needy, you may need to spend more time with your dog than if you have a dog that’s more independent and a bit more self-sufficient.

Well, it’s good to spend time with your animal and be affectionate, but if your relationship is just shallow and superficial then it’s not a great situation.  It’s probably best to avoid animal companionship if you don’t really care about your animal or understand the importance of good relationships with animals.
