I'm sorry, he is the youngest of 3 boys, and i really do not know how to deal with this. HE has come from such a loving home, with all benifits. What can i do???

welcome!!!
What I've learned, when you hit 'rock bottom', you take a step back and say whoa, I can't do this anymore.
Not sure this is the case with your son, seems like everytime he falls you're there to place a pillow under his butt.
And why are you
'eternally grateful' that he loves his dog? Am willing to bet he leaves the dog regularly, and who takes care of it in his absence?
I'm not gonna be the first to say it, but what you should probably do is kick his butt to the curb, let him actually find the bottom.
Some folks will be along to suggest the correct way to word this.
