Can/Should I get a dog?

I am a dog person. My wife loves cats. Cats are much easier, so we currently have 2 cats.

I am going crazy without a dog. I need the companionship that cats can't offer, and I need a buddy I can take running or swimming, etc.

The problem is, my wife and I both work 9-5 jobs. Standard jobs, both of them, but we live a little too far away to commute home during our lunch hours.

Is there any way I can get a dog with a work schedule like this? We can dedicate all our evenings, mornings, and weekends (we love camping and would love a companion on our trips), but would have to leave him alone during the work day.

What are some ways to make getting a new dog work with a schedule like this?
Is getting two (so they have some companionship) better than 1?
Dog walkers? Dog daycares? Any ideas would help! I am so desperate for a puppy that I will do just about anything. Finances are an issue, but not a huge one. Thanks!
