Re: property rights

You have at least equal rights to possession of the dog. You may want to consider the following option; It may be that if you tell him to come and pick up the puppy he will just let it go. Conduct like this is often nothing more than an attempt to continue control over the other spouse. If you believe that the puppy will be abused then you should consider other options.
