We used to have one, but it died when I was about ten. It's been six years, and my parents never give me a straight answer when I ask. I've never been one to produce a convincing argument...
well tell them that he can guard the house ...that he'll be a great companion ...and a great loyal friend that u'll have ...and then tell them maybe you dont want to get this dog cause he'll pass away after some years ...but it doesnt matter because this is the circle of life ...and i am aware that he'll leave us someday but what matters is the moments that i live with him and the souvenirs of the times that i spent with him ...
do u like that?
depending on wat kind of dog ur getting, get pics of it and put em around the house and right things in it and right things like wouldn't you wan't me or i am sooooooo cute!
Just prove to them that you can still take care of a pet, keep your grades up...stuff like that. But give them a break. They could still be healing from their loss. Things like that take time.
Prove to your parents you are responsible and mature enough to handle one. Do research on breeds, foods and training especially. Casually bring up small points. Ex: "Did you know black labs are excellent swimmers?"

My parents did the same thing. I researched down to chosing the exact type I wanted, names for either gender, food lists, made a list of accessories and most importantly created a budget. Once you have the idea of a black lab (or whatever type you are interested in) in their heads present the final 'report' sort-of-speak.
When I did, I gave an estimate for the cost of the dog per day, per month and per year. I also created a schedule for personal one on one time I would be able to spend with my dog each day. My parents were so impressed I was able to buy a dog the next week.

I guess you're about 16 now. They probably think that you'll be too busy with school work, socializing with friends, dating, etc. and not have time to care for a dog. I suppose if you can convince them that you'll be responsible for the pet, they might allow you to have a dog.
The best thing is to show your parents you are a responsible person, by really being so. They'll know if you are insincere. Then ask again and tell them you miss very much having a pet. Also tell them you'll take care of the pet and do it. Six years is a long enough time for them to have adjusted to the loss of the previous dog. Pets are excellent therapy. They teach more responsibility for a living being and teach about love and giving. Tell your parents it works.
