I really want to get a dog, but I see how their passing affects people, and not sure I want to go through that. Is it worth it?

The pain is horrible but it's because the love is so great.
yes get you a dog give him a forever home you seem like a good guy you would be doing him or her the dog a great favor by allowing them to have a home.
go to the shelter and get one doesn't have to be a puppy maybe an older dog would work better for you.

@Thereyouare It's commensurate with the love -- I like that. And thanks, I think saving one is the way to go.

@Thereyouare Excellent reply. There's nothing better than loving a dog and being loved by one.
Especially one from the shelter.
