Our situation may be unique, but it shows that it's possible for your dog to bond with both of you. Eddie is my wife's dog. It was her decision to get him. He sleeps with her. When we're both watching TV, he sits with her. She's the nurturer when he needs some loving. He knows he's her dog.
I'm the feeder/walker/trainer/play buddy. I'm closer to him than I've ever been to another dog. He waits up for me to get off work at 1 a.m., then he goes to sleep with his mama.
It didn't happen over night. We've worked at it. But there's absolutely no jealousy. We both get want we want out of him, and he benefits from two people who care for him. I honestly think the dog can adapt if the humans can.
