I'm a Dragon he's a Dog

My marriage fell apart in the last few years and our divorce was finalized this year.. I know I should avoid dogs but I really do love him and would do anything to be with him.. I have battled a lot of downs for so long between our relationship, money, jobs, etc. Will my life turn around and be filled with ups? and is it possible for me to get the dog back in my life? I love him with all my heart...
