I care for my dogs and cats and I've had several over the years that I'll always remember; but some people have tried to elevate their pets, to that of children.
Judge rules dogs are property, not children in custody dispute
A judge has ruled that an estranged couple’s dog is property and not a child over whom the court should spend time disputing custody.
Court of Queen’s bench judge Justice Richard Danyliuk was sympathetic that dogs have earned themselves a place higher than most property but admonished the owners over their assertion that canines are equivalent to children, according to CBC.
"Many dogs are treated as members of the family with whom they live," Danyliuk wrote in the August ruling. "But after all is said and done, a dog is a dog. At law it is property, a domesticated animal that is owned. At law it enjoys no familial rights."
Danyliuk acknowledged that dogs are afforded treatment not given to other possessions, including laws that prevent cruelty and neglect.
However, Danyliuk said children are not purchased from breeders, they aren’t bred to ensure good bloodlines, and when children act out they are not muzzled or put to death.
Danyliuk said he hopes the matter can be resolved without any further court intervention:
"Both parties should bear in mind that if the court cannot reach a decision on where the dogs go, it is open to the court under the legislation to order them sold and the proceeds split — something I am sure neither party wants," the judge said.

I would take the King Solomon and wait to see if they can agree.
If not then tell them the dog is going to be sold and the proceeds split.
If one side agrees to this, then it would tell me that that person doesn't really want the dog and I would award it to the other side.
