Piffle
I think this advice is piffle. Human needs come before dog needs. Human pain is more important than dog pain. If the dog is going to drive this man to suicide, etcetera, get rid of the dog, either by euthanizing it, by giving it to a friend (ideally), or by giving it to an animal shelter. This may seem like a callous view, but society simply doesn't need to give the needs of animals and people precisely equal weight, ethically or otherwise.
