I really want to get a dog, but I'm sure what kind to get! Do you like dogs?
I'm a human being on planet Earth, of course I love dogs! As far as what type of dog to get, it depends on the owner. They perform so many roles... hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals and therapeutic roles
Oh wow. That's a lot to think about!! I think I want a dog that's good with kids but is also easily trainable!
Some of the more popular breeds for kids are the labrador retriever and golden retriever, of course. But there are so many breeds suitable for kids, that it's more of a personal preference. As a side-note, dogs have long since adapted to us, so much so that they attune to our behavior, and even thrive on diets similar to ours, that have a lot of starch, that other species would be unable to deal with. Your dog will fit into you like a puzzle piece!
