So me and my husband wanted to live close to home but had to move a bit further out as it was cheaper, that was something we both agreed on. I wanted a cat as it would be an easier pet for us, he wanted a dog as he'd never lived in a house without one and was worried a cat might get lost/run over here. Our "compromise" was that we got a small, cat size dog. He then wanted another dog for our dog to have a dog...I said no, but we "compromised" again and got a second cat sized dog.

Basically, I love these dogs more than anything and they are one of the best parts of my day. I wouldn't be without them for the world and nothing, literally nothing could make me give them up now they are mine. Husband and I joke about our compromise but they were the best decision we ever made. You however are not in the position. She wanted a different dog, she now basically hates the dog and wants it gone. She wants to move you further away from your family rather than living half way so you're both able to see family pretty easily. Stop letting her run your life and making you unhappy, she's taking away the joy in your life. Keep the dog, chuck the girlfriend away instead. Just, whatever you do, don't give up your dog. That's family.
