Ask the Dog Shrink: Joint Custody

>   Dog Advice  —  anya  @  10:07 am   

Well this is a very sad topic, but considering the rates of pet ownership and divorce, it must be a pretty common issue.  What happens to your dog if your marriage or relationship comes to an end?  For people who think of their dogs as family members (53.5% of dog owners), it could be one of the most difficult issues to resolve in a divorce or break-up.

I’ve already made it very clear to Josh, that if things between us go sour, Oscar goes with me!!  But perhaps for a more balanced view, you might want to check out this advice from Kathy Santo, aka ”The Dog Shrink”.  She also has a lot of other good advice on a wide range of topics.
