    I tell you it's a lot more relaxing after a decision is made.
    A weight off your shoulders.
    A good decision made has a degree of peace. The confused questioning & doubting mind is no fun.

    So in quick summary:
    The neighbour's Autistic spectrum and some of the way @No.3 explained it from his personal experience has helped me in my understanding.
    I get it.

    But then again as @blip said 'don't make their problems your problems'.

    Peace to all (especially the neighbours).

    Glad you have made your decision Hermitage, and it's good for you to have gone through exploring the options - even/especially the difficult one. It's good to get a sanity check now and then, problems are so much smaller when they're outside your own mind, and brought down to earth by your peers.

    Blip makes a fair point (as usual), but as someone said earlier, you know you'll always have a great dog-sitter if ever you need one - and if you feel the need to keep in touch with them! Looking forward to the update in 6 months time!

    For someone who is on the spectrum, it isn't a problem as another observation. It's daily life - and for these people this is where the 'emotional support' animals come in that we see overseas. Just in this case, the animal that's 'the one' is part of someone else's family as well. That is a wee bit of an issue...

    As suggested, if you can do visits and not just end the relationship cold turkey it might suit both parties, the neighbour's wife and your dog (the animals tend to reciprocate with autistic people for some reason from what I can see - or to put it another way if I tried some of the things my daughter did with cats and the like I'd be ripped to shreds!). The wife will need to find another animal, I'd be suggesting to the husband the where and how you ended up with your rescue dog and see if there is another in a similar situation that has a similar temperament. Won't replace yours, but likely she will bond with that straight off as well.

    We have always let the animals choose us. The dog we have now was from a big litter when we went to look at them. When we got there all his brothers and sisters ran up to us and jumped all over us and tried playing, he just sat back and watched. Then when they were all finished he just walked up to us and sat at our feet.

    ( @Growlybear my silence in not answering your post except for a 'WTF", doesn't mean I agree with you.
    It means your level of stupidity rendered me speechless.)
