The Power of Persuasion

We've been talking a lot about persuasive techniques in argument writing these days.  We have been analyzing videos and articles to find Ethos (credibility), Logos (facts, statistics, expert quotes), and Pathos (emotional appeal).

I just came across this article on "20 Reasons You Need a Dog in Your Life". My daughters and I really want to get a dog but my husband doesn't want one. Do you think we could persuade him with this article? What technique is strongest in the article, in your opinion, and why?
