What is there to speculate. The sad reality is that most people r ignorant n not too concerned about their good deeds or the Angel of mercy entering their house. However, if it were financial losses they were suffering, they might be more concerned about 'balancing things out'.Oh I completely agree with you. I personally would not own a dog due to the hadiths provided. As for why someone would, I can only speculate. I know that psychologists recommend pet dogs for soldiers suffering from ptsd or depression. I know plenty of other people, some who are muslims as well, who get dogs for similar situations. That's one reason. They might have others, I really don't know. Why would they be ok with losing good deeds on a daily basis? Well it is possible that they get good deeds back by taking care of their dog, feeding it, walking it, cleaning it, etc. Those are all good deeds too. Perhaps they see it as "balancing things out."
Besides, a person can look after a Dog and feed, walk it etc. without allowing it inside the house.
