Since the shelter is getting overcrowded, would they let you foster the dog? Having him dog in the house might help your hubby decide. What a sweet face!
Every relationship is different, and I would never want to suggest anything that might provoke discord, but could you bring the dog home "without permission?"
After 27 years of me dragging home strays, fosters, and a few grocery store pups that stayed, my hubby would let me keep the dog. Especially if I told him it was for him. His Wally has a thread in the Cane Corso section.
I am curious what testing the shelter does that helped them decide the dog would be good with kids. I get asked once in a while to evaluate a dog and find it difficult since we don't have any kids to scamper past the dogs while shrieking and that sort of thing.
Best of luck getting him home.
