Actually, I've seen a Vegan with a dog who was only fed a plant-based diet... It was one of the saddest thing I'd seen. That poor dog was absolutely miserable - this bi*tch didn't realize she was torturing her own dog.
To address OP: If you plan on keeping a dog indoors all the time as if it were some cat, better to not get a dog. They're not indoor animals. Yes they should be kept as pets but only under the right circumstances
Most vegans get sick and drop out of the diet. It's just that the dog or cat may not survive it.
The PETA globohomo stand is for the people to have zero pets. That is why PETA shelters kill dogs instantly, they don't bother finding new owners for them.
It's good that PETA is not a humanitarian organization or they would kill every human on earth based on the logic that - lack of humans - lack of pain.
We note that pet ownership/dog ownership coincides with growing wealth and also a certain compassion towards those animals. The richer a country becomes, the better they usually treat those animals.
Humans learn from dogs a multitude of things since they are such loving creatures.
As for vegans - I found that many rather own cats vs dogs. Long-term vegans cannot handle dogs - guess their mentality of an eternally open heart does not compute well with the deep hatred and resentment against all humans that vegans carry around them. So most own rather cats which is hilarious due to cats being carnivores. But they starved some poor cats to death on the vegan diet as well, so....
Oh - and obviously there is a limit when dog-love becomes too obsessive. You shouldn't neglect human relationships over it.
