GPS vs. Puppy

I recently had a very important decision to make: get a GPS or a puppy.  I decided to do a side by side comparison to see which would be the better purchase.  More specifically, I would be getting a yellow lab - not to be confused w/ a golden retriever which is an entirely different dog.

Navigation:

GPS - locate user's current position and fastest route to any known location in the US.

Yellow Lab - one of the most popular dogs used to train as "seeing-eye" dogs to help disabled people navigate public areas effectively and safely.

Verdict: TIE

Options:

GPS - wide screen, mp3 player, picture viewer, am/fm radio, text-to-speech, turn by turn directions.

Yellow Lab - Male or Female

Verdict: GPS

Coolness factor:

GPS - most likely to get the employees at Best Buy to talk to me.

Yellow Lab - most likely to get the cute girls at the park walking their dogs to talk to me.

Verdict: Yellow Lab

Cost:

GPS - anywhere from 200 to 700 american dollars.

Yellow Lab - ~600 american dollars to purchase.  Does not include, food, vet visits, chew toys, stuff it's not supposed to chew on but does anyway, new carpet, etc...

Verdict: GPS

Companionship:

GPS - American English Jill [TTS] is capable of reading directions, street names, and locations accurately.  Also notifies me when I have "reached destination."

Yellow Lab - man's best friend.

Verdict: TIE

Safety/Security:

GPS - cannot leave in the car b/c someone will likely break in and steal it.

Yellow Lab - cannot leave in the car b/c someone will likely freak out, report me, and have the dog taken away from me.

Verdict: TIE

So there you have it.  Clearly, the GPS was the better choice.
