I don't even think its debatable. An electronic gadget vs a living creature. I'm not even a dog person but even I know what will happen when you get the 3DS: You'll play the games, you'll be impressed by the hardware, the luster will dull, and it will eventually become another piece of hardware to play when you're bored.
As for the dog, it's a companion. It'll develop little quirks and somewhat of a personality. It'll never betray you and there's a good chance it will lick your face.
The x-factor is that you already have a dog. But I say go with the dog. The 3DS can wait. It's just a game. Besides, by the time the 3DS comes out, I'm sure you'll be able to save another $350.
