Undated (WIBQ) - Today is National Dog Day, and the ASPCA has figured out how much it's costing you to own a dog.
The organization did the math and says owning a small dog costs over 13-hundred dollars in the first year, and a big dog costs over 18-hundred dollars.
The numbers include one-time expenses such as spaying, neutering and training.
After the first year, the ASPCA says you're spending nearly 600-dollars a year for a small dog and almost 900-dollars a year for a big dog.
