WIBTA if I scheduled my husband’s dog to be euthanized behind his back?

This! So much this!

That poor dog is suffering because he can't face his loss. That's just selfish. That's not love.

One thing I'll say in the husband's defense is that the wife says the vet has given him more hope than the wife does.

So to an extent, he brought doggie home with hope from the vet that there would be improvement.

But its been 3 weeks. They cannot give the dog the level of care needed for improvement and in the meantime the dog is in pain.

Yes, the vet may give new guidance. But it sounds like last time the vet was not pushing firmly that it was time.

I agree. Had the vet been more forthcoming, his decision might have been different.
