I think your wife is not really ready to become a mom. Because you can have a dog and have a kid together as well. Try go check out lots of videos in Youtube where a couple with existing dog welcome a child and the dog even become good buddy of the child and very protective of the child too. (maybe you can consider showing such video to your wife too)...
but take a way the dog or put aside the dog, i think without the dog too your wife most likely will give you the same answer that she's not ready to become a mom...
Taking care of a child is way way way way way more complicated and harder than taking care of a dog... i'm speaking from my own experience...i have dog...i also have kids...
good luck buddy...
on a separate note....you love your wife and you made a vow to marry her... just because she don't want to have kids you want to divorce her? you love your wife or you love kids? again, just my own opinion, I love my wife first and whatever after that, both should discuss and come to mutual agreement together. In this case, if my wife is not ready to have kids, i shall stick with her decision as well until she is ready...even if it means there is a possibility we won't have kids...

So I have been married to my partner where we know each other for 10 years (married for 2 years quite recently). Along these years, we are just a happily ever after couple but our relationship/bonding changed after my wife decided to have a dog (thanks to MCO) and this was an impulse decision - we did not discuss what and how if we were to have a pet.
After the pet came, our marriage life change drastically where my wife will put all the time and effort to the dog (treating it as if like is her own kid). We have been discussing and i stressed that i want to have kid, but she would not be able to commit. We have been petting the dog for 3 years now and our daily routine is nothing but all about the dog now. Wherever I plan to go (like a short trip or so), she will be worried for her dog, as you know in MY not everywhere is pet friendly place.
I'm not a pet person and i do not enjoy walking the dog in the park, pet cafe hopping, pet gathering etc. I'm in my late 30s now and i do not want to carry on with this lifestyle for the next 10 years (assume the dog can live for another 10 years). I have a good career and ultimately i want to have a family but not with the dog.
After all these, i have been thinking for a divorce. We have been discussing/deep talk this few times and did not managed to come a conclusion (she will not let go of her pet/and I'm not willing to go on for my remainder of my life with the dog). If i were to compromise and accept the dog as a family, i will not be happy and it will not be marriage life i want.
Additional info - I'm a man with no bad habits, typical house-husband type that does all the housework. So i do not think my wife attitude change cos of some bad from me. Just FYI.
Please my friend, your two cents of advice would be very much helpful to me.
TLDR:
Both married with no kids
Wife have a pet dog but husband dont like
Husband want to have kids but wife not able to commit
Divorce??
Reconcile??
