You should not have a dog if you are not engage to look after it. vs You should not have a dog if you are not undertake to look after it.

Both phrases are attempting to convey the idea that one should not have a dog if they are not committed to taking care of it. However, the first phrase 'you should not have a dog if you are not engaged to look after it.' is the correct and more commonly used construction. The second phrase 'you should not have a dog if you are not undertake to look after it.' is incorrect due to the misuse of the verb 'undertake.'
