Yes, but not as a pet. Omar is probably not a traditional muslim, and is one of those of the 'newer generation'.

“A dog can be owned for purposes such as the following:
1. A trained dog for hunting. Remember in Islam we are only allowed to hunt for food; there is no such thing as hunting for fun, for we are not allowed to kill or torture animals or drive them out of their habitats for the fun of it.
2. A trained dog as a guide. This would be the case if a person is blind and he/she has no choice but to keep a dog for essential services. In this case, it is permissible for him/her to keep a dog inside the house once it has been trained for service, but it is still recommended that the dog have its own sleeping arrangement.
3. A dog trained for police duties.
4. A guard dog to guard houses or property.
5. A dog used by farmers to shepherd cattle and sheep.

That will depend on how strong your faith as a Muslim is.
As posted in the link, some muslims admitted that they will eat pork in an emergency where they are in danger of dying from starvation, so the same goes for a blind Muslim who is in need of a guiding animal.
Not bad. He knows how to make use of his father to make money.

In the case where there is nth left to eat, they can eat the pork la, less the starve to death.
In that case, pork or carcasses can be eaten for survival.
