LoneWlf, your positive attitude and faith are inspiring amidst the suffering we're all enduring. I'd personally say no to taking the dog. Your wife obviously misses many things about home currently and wants to comfort herself but by taking a strong stand and not enabling her further in her selfish decision to leave it seems wise to keep the dog with you. If it was her dog previously then it may be a bit different but it sounds like it's yours.
