I don't think having a pet is an 'opportunity'.
A pet is family. It's a life time commitment. No matter how good or
how bad the pet may be, it is family.
No one can legitimately answer that question for you. If you are only
wanting the dog for mischief and entertainment, my answer would be
a very loud NO. Instead, allow someone else to have it, someone that
will give it love, trust, and care for it forever.
