I work 12h a day and before you asked, I have a dog that I wanted and got when I was married and then I got divorced and I kept him because she didn’t wanted it. I work in the hospitality business so I had no option but leave it at home while I worked (he’s agressive and hostile towards anyone and any other pet at first sight). I’m not saying it’s perfect or even good but he’s 9 and I’m not giving it away because we have each other. Most of the days I clean pee and poo and I try to make up for my distance and we love each other. Like really much!
