What your answers reveal:

1 - 9 Points: Your getting a dog may not be in the dog’s best interest. The poor dog would never see you and when it did, you’d be afraid to touch it. If you really want a pet, tropical fish might work.

10 - 28 Points: You should consider adopting a mature dog. From your answers, you may have trouble with the exercise needs of a more energetic dog. You may want to make sure you have someone who will help you with the dog during bad weather or while you are traveling. You may
want to consider a small or toy dog.

29 - 42 Points: You are a good candidate for a dog.

43 - 53 Points: Many types of dogs will fit well with your lifestyle. You should consider a fairly active dog and find fun things to do together or as a family.

54 - 74 Points: A dog or two (preferably not from the same litter) of any type will fit well with your lifestyle. You have the skill and sense of humor to deal with pets that are higher maintenance or highly active.
