I don't know about that...

My wife had a rabbit before, and it's true... for the most part, you don't really do anything with it... it doesn't really show any affection, it just eats and poops, and unless you're really good about changing the bedding, it will smell.

We got a chihuahua later, and I love having this dog so much more than the rabbit... the dog is affectionate, loves to play, comes to sit with us all the time, and really isn't any more of a hassle than the rabbit. We trained it to do her business on washable mats, so we don't have to take her out at all hours of the day and night.
