I agree with others. Yes, he can ask for the dog. Yes, he may be awarded the dog. No, it's more likely that you will be awarded the dog. Since a pet is considered property (though most of us love our pets dearly), it will be awarded to someone.
However, even though I believe you should be allowed to keep the dog and the responsibility for caring for the dog should be yours, there's a chance that his feelings for the dog are sincere. Would you consider occasionally letting the dog visit with the kids, or having the dog outside with the kids when he picks them up, or letting him take the dog for a walk/play from time to time? None of these things require his coming into your house. Perhaps by doing little things like that for him, he may just be a little more cooperative. Pigs may fly too of course.
One thing that worries me is what the kids said. What if someone said to him just get another child?
