Confession: I'm not really a dog person. But hold the hate mail or the how-could-you glares, I now live with two dogs (my mum's) and I'm coming around to the benefits of having a canine friend. Not only are they always so happy to see you they look like they could pee themselves, they also help keep you active.
Several recent studies have shown that dog walkers generally get more exercise than their non-canine-loving counterparts. And if you own a dog, you'll know why. It's a lot harder to say no to a pair of puppy dog eyes (and an annoying whimper) than it is a treadmill.
So as long as you don't mind waking up to a barking alarm you didn't set and constantly brushing hair off your clothes and you're handy with a pooper scooper, a dog could be one of the best things you buy for your health. The unconditional love is just a bonus.
