Stop in for a cup of coffee

So I need opinions. As I said last night, my wife lost her 10 month old Corgi thanks to a car. Wife is very tore up, one because she died and two, because she saved for that dog for nearly 2 years.

I’ve been all over the web and making phone calls, I’ve found a 5 week old corgi that is about 7 hours away at a breeder. She’s more than what we paid for the other but not by much. Similar markings and colors as the one we just lost.

My question is, will it actually help my wife grieve and move on or would it make I worse? She(the dog) wouldn’t come home until mid September so there’s some time before I have to tell my wife.
