Murray Newlands, Cofounder of Due, Weighs in on the Dog Debate
There’s nothing that throws a wrench into your work-life balance as an entrepreneur than getting a dog.

On the other hand: literal puppy dog eyes, unconditional love, a nightly foot-warmer, and cheerful companion.
Getting a dog is not like getting any other domesticated animal – they live for the outdoors, they cannot be contained, and they require constant attention. But they also give unparalleled devotion and love, and offer happiness that exists entirely outside the stresses of running a company. Are you a founder who is considering getting a dog?
