I guess what you are saying is the more animals you get, the more love you get (which is enough to go aroundI think if you like the dog, go for it! But if you’re not sure you want a dog then of course maybe not. But I wouldn’t be worried about the attention thing. I had both dogs and chickens for a long while and was able to provide enough love and time and everything to them all. I even had a cat, fish, and budgies too. At one point I had quail too. I found there’s plenty of love and time for all. Nowadays I just have the cat, dog, and budgies, but some day I will get chickens again. I found the chickens pretty easy to care for so they didn’t take away from the dog or vice versa.
