I've said this before, but if you plan on getting a dog you should consider putting down tile in high traffic areas. I covered my whole main floor with tile and put down hardwood in low traffic rooms (bedrooms, office etc.).
Also, you can reduce the dog damage on hardwood by grooming their nails routinely. There are also these plastic covers that you can put over the dog nails. They look kinda funny, but I know a lot of people who use them now.
