Question
Dear Rabbi, hello... I have a question: I want to bring a small pet dog into the house... This is after my children have grown up, I went through two difficult years, fell ill with a disease... Blessed be God, today I am recovering, getting stronger... and with God's help, it will never return... I feel that this will lift me up a bit, strengthen me, I am often alone... My husband will approve after consulting a rabbi.
Answer
Hello
It is permissible to keep a dog, provided that it is not dangerous and does not have a frightening appearance.
Wishing you a complete recovery.
