Brief Answer:
Better not to keep dog.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Well, better not to keep dog in house.
But if you don't have any problems if there is dust or chemicals or smoke etc then you can try dog at home.
But for long term prognosis of COPD, it is better to avoid precipitating factors like dust, smoke, chemical fumes, pet animals etc.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
