You might want to ask your parents what you can do to prove yourself and what might keep them from wanting a dog. If it's space concerns, such as your home being too small or landlord concerns such as them living in a place where animals aren't allowed (or are expensive to have), then you might be out of luck.
The best way to persuade them would be to show initiative and responsibility. This means that you should be doing your chores and/or any housework without being told to do so, as well as saving up money to deal with the initial expenses for a dog. (Shots, vet visit, adoption fees, etc) If you ask them for a dog after showing them that you can be responsible and showing them that you've saved up the money, this will help show them that you are capable of caring for a dog.

My parents are not dog people.
When I was 9 years old, they finally caved in and got me my favorite dog for my birthday (a cocker spaniel)
How did I do it?
Basically from the age of 6 to 9-- so 3 years, I was dog crazy. Everything I did was related to dogs. If I drew a picture it would be a dog. If I read a book, it would be about a dog. If I got a present it would be a dog stuffed animal or a dog puzzle. I went dog kamikazi on them!
I was relentless in my love of every little thing related to dogs.... so they knew I was serious. Then my dream came true.
So my advice is to go dog crazy!

Start with something outrageous...
"Mom, can I have an elephant?"
"No!"
"Can I have an aligator?"
"No!"
"Can I have a python?"
"No!"
"Can I have a horse?"
"No!"
"Can I have a dog?"
"Yea, sure. That's not so bad."
Let me know if this works :)

You CAN'T do all the work. While you are in school or otherwise away from home someone else has to take care of the dog for you. And when you and your family go out of town for something, who's going to board or feed your dog? You are right that it's going to be EXPENSIVE. Wait until you grow up, get a job, have your own place, and then worry about having your own dog. Peace-

Get a big spider as a pet, then they will be happy to change it for a dog

Well if money is the issue when it comes to wanting a dog/puppy, I suggest that YOU get a part-time job to at least pay half or all of what the new dog/puppy needs.
Toys, leash, collar, tags, maybe a brush (depending on dog), food, treats, vet bills.

put pictures us on the sceen saver, put pictures and dog treats around the house, i started getting so deprate for a puppy i resorted to an anomal my parents didnt like, so they gave in eventually. But it took about 2 years. Tell them that you will give up hanging out with ur friends most days to spend time with the dog. You will get up early and walk the dog... etc stuff like that. u could look up information about dogs or where to get a dog online and ''wow'' your parents with the info.... and today i have a 9 week old black lab :)
