Poll: Why would you like to adopt a dog?

Hello everyone. I am creating this poll, like most of my polls, purely out of my own curiosity. And this poll sounds like this: Why would you like to adopt a dog? I am interested in what reasons you see for adopting a dog, what exactly might interest you in this. And maybe this poll will later help some dog shelters, so that based on the answer options they can somehow adapt and present dogs better - not literally present a dog, but rather help encourage people to take, buy, keep, and adopt dogs.

Why would you like to adopt a dog: personal reasons and experiences

I really like this idea. Recently, at the end of 2025, there was a very cool video where they came up with a concept in which it was not people adopting dogs, but on the contrary - dogs seemed to be choosing people. It was done in a way that about 200 people of different nationalities, appearances, personalities, and so on were sitting in a hall. And at one moment, all the dogs from a shelter were released, and they ran toward these people, and each of them chose their own person by themselves. It was a very powerful video, and yes, it directly relates to this poll, which asks: Why would you like to adopt a dog? I would be interested to hear your thoughts.

I can also add from my own experience that I have a dog. I thought for a very long time about whether I wanted to adopt a dog, but when I finally decided, and now he has been with me for the fourth year, I want to say that it was a very right decision, because it simply makes me feel very good. Yes, having a dog is difficult, especially when it is growing up, when it is a puppy, when it does not understand commands and does not understand how to behave - that was the hardest time for me. But over time, you could say that we adapted to each other, and for me now it is a source of very pleasant emotions, happiness, and so on. It is something very, very pleasant.
