A Lizard
A lizard can be very cool to earn because it’s not just the fact that you can brag about it but you actually have one. Because they are reptiles they require special care if you want to make sure they are well. Besides having an escape-proof aquarium you will need some extra stuff like a heating source, the substrate for the bottom of the tank, some food of course, and a thermostat to measure the tanks temperature, and you can’t forget the furniture that the lizard can play around in.
A Dog
A dog is maybe the most common suggestion you can think of. There is a lot of dog breeds that can be in the house and will not wreck havoc in your dojo. You can go the traditional route and get a small dog. Small dogs tend to bar more and sometimes tend to be more aggressive so keep that in mind.

A Hamster

If you have children it can also teach them how to start taking care of their first pet. They do love to be up at night so don’t be surprised when you randomly hear your hamster start exercising on there running wheel. They are nocturnal so you do not have to worry much about feeding them during the day mostly at night unless you leave the food in the morning for the whole day or they get hungry. They also rarely bite unless you scare them and your hand happens to smell like food.
