my health visitor gave me an informative talk on how to spread sudocream on Alice's red bottom, to do it very sparing to allow the skin to breath, and how nappy rash is due to the ammonia in the urine, which, ok is useful to know, but I'm a nurse for christ sake, and if I didnt know that after being qualified for 8 years, well, I need to be struck off! my H.V knows what job I do, but she still lectures me on various things, then says, whoops, I'm telling you to suck eggs, aren't I? Yes, they have a job to do, but save it for the people who dont have the faintest idea on how to bring their kids up, and actually need help all the time.
Back to the dog thing, keep it, tell your midwife if she doesnt like it, stick it where the sun dont shine! Your house, your baby, your responsibility. You know what your dog is like, and if you had any doubts about your baby's safety with the dog, I would imagine you would have got rid of the dog when your wife got pregnant.
