Having a dog is certainly an additional expense, as a puppy you have many early bills to take care of such as vaccinations and spay/neutering. If you feed a dog correctly, as in no human food, bulk food can be found pretty inexpensively (compared to human food). Puppies also tend to be rough on a house, and that gets compounded by the size of a dog, I've seen Golden Labs who have chewed through large sections of drywall, that kind of behaviour is certainly the minority though. All that being said, having a dog is much less expensive than a baby. The time you have to put into it, while less than a baby, is still signifigant, regular walking and attention especially as a puppy is required. Sadly, many people who own dogs see them as a possession, not a living creature they have a responsibility to, you don't sound like that kind of person but it's important to remember that your pet has feelings and needs like any living creature. Finally may I take this opportunity to suggest that if you do get a dog, take a trip to your local shelter. Many loving adult dogs have no homes and are ready made pets, who are already house broken and know what is expected of them. They also have all their shots and are spayed or neutered, you'll miss a few goofy puppy moments, but dogs are really puppies their whole life, you wont be missing much. :) All of my families dogs have been pound dogs, and all have been wonderful additions to our family. If you MUST have a puppy, please research a reputable breeder and buy from them. Pet stores are notorious for using puppy mills, breeders that don't give a damn about the puppies or the mothers. Many people buy "purebreds" from a pet store and have years of expensive vet bills because of poor breeding practices. A breeder who's reputation is sound will insure that the mother isn't cranking out batch after batch of puppies and that the genetic lineage is varied enough to prevent many common purebred diseases.

I fear not. Alexander set out on his world conquest in 333 BC. He died, almost to India in 323 BC. Homer lived in 1000 BC. He wrote at that time, and Hercules lived a few thousand years before that.

Alexander the Great lived in the 4th Century b.c.e. Homeric hero's lived sometime between the 1,000 - 2,000 b.c.e, roughly.
