Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan
Pet dog
Six months ago, I moved to another town with my girlfriend whom I
met six months prior. I purchased a pet dog but did not intend it to
be a gift to her, figuring that we would both enjoy the pet. I have
the receipts and papers to prove the dog is mine. We broke up
and now she refuses to return my pet. Do I have the right to claim
my pet dog as it was never a gift to her?

Re: Pet dog
yes. pets are considered property and her refusal to return your dog is conversion of your property.
