with whether or not you are dog people.

For example, you can get a dog that doesn’t shed, I assume you can get a dog that doesn’t make you allergic, and some breeds are more obedient than others (although still, nothing is guaranteed).

I only mention it because maybe a different dog would lead to a different experience and allow you to re-home the dog without as much drama from your kids. Although it kind of sounds like you’re done, which I understand.
