how do i convince my parents i’m ready for a dog and not just dreaming

I’ve wanted a dog for ages, but my parents aren’t sold yet. They keep saying it’s a huge responsibility and that I need to prove I can handle it. I get it—dogs need walks, food, and lots of attention. But I’m ready to step up! If you’ve ever convinced your parents to let you get a pet, how did you do it? What chores or routines did you take on to show you were serious? Also, any tips for showing them I can balance school, activities, and dog care? I’d love to hear your stories or advice.
