Landmark Decision Regarding Pet Custody
In a Court ruling that many are calling “a Landmark Decision”, a Canadian Judge has awarded temporary custody of a couple’s two dogs (male and female mixed Great Dane Brittany Spaniels named Baron and Tessa) to one of the parties, following the breakup of their relationship.
More importantly, the person who was awarded custody was not the party that originally purchased and registered the pets.
In explaining his decision, Judge Joel Shaw noted how the internationally recognized book, Fat Cats and Lucky Dogs co-authored by Toronto lawyer, Barry Seltzer, and Texas Tech law professor, Gerry W. Beyer, provided him with an extensive background of pet ownership and trusts that greatly influenced his decision.
