i say puppy......first off rabbits useally need to get cleaned 2-4 days a week, and can get sick very easly ....puppys u have to potty train not hard just let the puppy out every 2 hours or every time it barks to go outside, put a water bowl down an feed 2-3 times a day. puppys u can also take on walks and snuggle with. and good with kids

That's completely a decision you have to examine and make. You need to research the both of them and figure out which one would match your lifestyle better. Family? House or apartment? Time to spend with them? And outdoor activities? If you only have a small apartment, don't want an animal you need to exercise a lot with, or even pay a lot of attention to, a bunny might be a better decision, yet you still need to keep up on cleaning their cages and making sure they have fresh food and water at all times. Personally, from experience, as long as you keep up on cleaning their cages (mine has a litter box) then they honestly don't smell bad. As for a puppy, they have a lot of energy and a lot of needs that you need to be ready for. They won't be ideal pets at first as they arn't potty trained yet, need to be fed a lot, taken out, and often will chew at first until they learn the rules. They will often need to be walked a lot and taken out for exercise, as well as cleaned up after, and taken to the vet for all necessary shots and treatments. If you think you have the time and energy to give to a dog, that may be a better decision. As I stated, this is only a little bit of a background; yet no person can specifically tell you what to choose.

Hopefully this helps! Good luck with your new pet =]

LOL you are asking this in DOGS. We are going to be bias.

Still I think a dog. Rabbit's you put in a pen. They don't come when you call, they don't cuddle, they aren't you're best friend. A puppy (god willing you know how to treat them right and train them) will be the best friend you've ever had.

A puppy!!! My friend used to have rabbits, and no matter how often they cleaned the cage their whole house stunk.

both equally good. I used to have a rabbit and we would rough him up and he would chase us around the backyard..so much fun till he got hold of one of us lol.

Puppy is much more fun since they are more active. They need much more care too though.

A puppy duh! I'm not a rabit person, but a puppy,oh yeah! So get a puuppy! :)
