Thanks for your positive feedback. I am so sorry to hear abut losing your son. That must be devastating. I am glad you have an outside source of validation with the therapy dog. My dog, Charlie is my personal therapist. My husband started having problems with his iPhone and the TV controller last year. To use those devices a person has to press the right button or swipe on the phone in the right sequence. Losing the ability to sequence is part of the dementia. He thought it was the phone not working. I learned about this and so any other aspects of dementia care from taking the Companions Course at Teepa Snow.com. This lady has so much valuable information on her website. The online live classes which I took are SO worth the money. There is a course workbook that comes with the courses that you can print out. I took four sessions in all. It sounds like your husband is in an earlier stage than mine who sleeps all day and doesn't say more than 2-3 words at a time. I think that it is wise for you to look ahead to see what resources you will need to keep him safe at home with you. It was suggested to me to buy some "GPS" tracking buttons that in my case can be put on my car so I can find it when I park it in a huge parking structure. But you could also put one on your dogs' collars so if they do get out again, it will be easier to find them. My husband doesn't wander but if he did I would put one on him. I also have a security system that beeps when any of our doors are opened. Best of luck to you and your husband. I hope you are able to stay at home as long as possible. Keep in touch.
