DIXIE TAKE HIM BACK. The older kids will get over it, the dog will not. It sounds to me like they had the best of intentions but some people are so busy living their lives with work, kids they sometimes forget they have a pet. With a new baby, the mother will not have time to take care of that pup and if left to the kids he will get fed whenever they think of it.
If she is willing for you to take him back, the bond cannot be that strong, I would not give up my dogs for any reason even though they don't like people or other dogs.
None of your dogs are like that, there has to be a reason, maybe teasing with food, I think this pup would do better with maybe a couple no kids.
When we got Daisy she was the last pup in the litter and the little girls carried her around from piller to post, never letting her down. Today she hates to be held and absolutely will not have anything to do with kids.
Knowing how great your dogs are Kathi and Bob may want to take on a male, why not? I didn't want a male and then when I saw Perry I fell in love with him.
If you can't keep him, with the quality of your dogs, I'm sure you would not have any trouble finding him a home.
Just my two cents worth!
Jackie
