If you decide to commit to a pet dog - you’re probably in for 15 to 20 years.
Here are some other lifespans to consider before taking on a pet:
* Goldfish: While some might not make it past the first few days, there is one on record at 45 years.
* Birds: A canary lives about 25 years. A cockatiel, 35 years. An Amazon Parrot is a big commitment, 104 years.
* Hamsters hang around for about 4 years. Gerbils live about 5 years, Guinea pigs, 8 years.
* Turtles: You’re better off with the painted variety. They live about 11 years. If you’re tempted to adopt a Galapagos Land Tortoise, you’re in for 193 years.
