Whichever pet you already have or are about to choose, a dog, cat or a budgie, the most important aspect is that you are excited about it. It's more meaningful if your pet is suitable for your character and mood.
Pet owners rarely feel loneliness or suffer any depression, so animal lovers should be happy to know that having a pet can add years to your life.
