Its not bad that a human relationship is more important than the dog, that is natural. Especially since they care for your child.

If the they mean that much to you, then you owe it to them, and yourself, to be completely honest. And ask the same of them. Ask if you can help with something regarding re-homing the dog, what makes them uncomfortable, and so on.

I dont think there is truly a right or wrong here...its really just doing what is within your power, and your willingness to compromise and their ability to empathize with your feelings. The fact they dont want the dog put down is great. Im sure you can work it out. But they need to understand your feelings toward the dog, and remind them of the obligation they signed up for. People getting dogs and them suddenly becoming not worth the effort is a HUGE problem.

Keep us posted.
