Truly, absolutely do not bring another dog home unless you plan on a fight, or your other dog going into a state of depression. If he reacted that strongly to a stray that was only there shortly, how do you think he'll react to a dog coming in full-time... THINK MAN

as for previous answers, just because the dogs meet on neutral territories doesn't mean anything. When you get back to your house your 8 yr old won't understand. it's like meeting random a dog at a dog park and bringing him home...

Have them meet off your dogs territory. Outside of your home most likely places he or she hasn't gone to the bathroom. Treat the dogs the same way.

Do it on neutral territory if you can.  Not your house or yard.  SOmeplace where neither do will feel territorial.
