My parents thought someone had to be responsible, and probably my brother asked for the dog and they thought it would forge some character and responsability in him. I don't think it happened though. What I do remember vividly, is having turtles. I believe

The most recent factoid I learned about. And.

Living that long, wearing your insides out, doesn't sound that bad to me.
