Have any of you gotten a second dog as a sibling to your first one? How was it?

Since we moved, I've been spending a lot of time with my dog while I look for a job. Once I find one, our dog is going to be alone for most of the day. We'll figure something out like a dog walker, daycare, coming home for lunch, etc. But when we move out of our apartment into a house in the future, I think my dog would be happier with a playmate during the day. We'd probably get a dog of similar size/weight/age.

I'm not sure if I could love a second dog like my first. I'm sure I would take care of it just fine, feed it good food, and provide it with lots of exercise and fun times, but I just don't know if I'm okay with adding a new pet to our family dynamic. We spoil the shit out of our boy. Would probably kill someone for him. Do I have enough love to give? I'm not asking about how to have a second dog come into our home (introductions, feeding times, whatever), I'm more asking about the emotional aspect. Would my first dog feel less loved with the addition of a second? Would I regret getting a second dog and having to divvy up my attention between two?

Has anyone dealt with this? Pic is our boy on a road trip
