Whose framing of this story rings truest to you?
Honestly a betta needs way less work than a dog, cheaper too. Smart move if her living situation wasn't great for a dog anyway.
I love that she kept an open mind. Sometimes the right pet just isn't the one you walked in looking for.
Betta fish are actually great starter pets, more personality than people expect from a fish. Good on her for going with what caught her eye.
