64. Doxie Custody

It is an ever increasing phenomenon that warring couples are battling to keep custody of their dogs, when they split up or divorce.

Because pets are not recognised in law at all, like children are, lawyers are having to come up with solutions such as determining which ‘parent’ the pooch goes to when called. But that doesn’t stop the couples resorting to some very underhand tactics, such as rubbing dog meat on their hands.

I suppose for dachshund owners (underhand tactics aside), the one who will allow them to sleep on the bed is always going to win!
