I enjoy both, I just pick what suits the household most. Right now I have a mom and a dad with three toddlers, they need so much time that a dog just wouldn't fit in the household, so I got them two cats. They don't need as much attention and will generally take care of themselves, and the toddlers have a blast imitating the cats. I don't find dogs overly needy, though (just too needy for a household with three needy toddlers, lol). I've played with four before and every so many days one would start about wanting to go for a walk, but most of the time they were fine. Might get my family a dog later.
