<human>: I'm having trouble sleeping lately. What do I need to know before adopting a dog?
<bot>: Before adopting a dog, you should consider the time commitment and responsibility that comes with owning one. You'll also want to research any potential health issues or behavioral problems associated with certain breeds, as well as their needs for exercise, socialization, and grooming. Additionally, be sure to have an understanding of your budget and how you plan to care for your new pet.
