This story is not in the Biblical text.
However it may be in one of the gnostic gospels or in one of the infancy gospels. I will do a little searching. If I find anything I will post it here, otherwise I will not add anything.
***UPDATE***
After a little searching I have found that there is a children's story that tells of Jesus having a German Shepherd.

***UPDATE #2****
There is NO way you can be 100% sure of such a fact. THere is no empirical evidence textual or otherwise that supports such a conclusion.

It's a pity your question is only for Christians; I have an atheist friend who knows all about Jesus and his dog but I guess that won't count..no?
It's sad that on a public forum like this, people only wish responses from special folks...some of you folks think you own this place!

Jesus didn't have a dog. at least in the bible it did not say that. in those days the dogs weren't tame. they were wild and barked all the time. if you went near one it was like going near a bear.

there is no mention in bible, probably in the apocrypha, which are "books" or stories that were done in same time but were not included because they were either made up or didn't follow all the other scriptures

Nope. And I'm pretty familiar with the Gnostic and Apocryphal texts, too - and that just does NOT ring any bells.

You are talking about something that is outside of the canon of the Bible and thereby cannot be trusted.

No canon biblical source has him with a dog.

Sorry, no pets are in the Gospels. No BATS or RATS either.
