This should be real simple. Who bought the dog? Who paid for it? Think of it this way, if you two have to go to court, they are going to ask for documentations…so who’s name is on it as the owner? If she asking you to give her the dog, I’m assuming you are the owner. So it’s up to you if you want to give buster up or keep him. Good luck.

Buster should go leave with whomever can spend the most time with him. Dogs could care less about how much money is spent except for when it is on food, what they really want is just human companionship. I think whoever is home the most should get custody of Buster and the other have visitation rights plus sleep overs.

that is good advice for you from odugie. I have two dogs and I am not home enough, I know it. I have them for my own selfish reasons,needs for keeping them. Most people do not put the animals needs first. The time I spend with them is quality time but they deserve more. So to sm it up, the dog should be with who is home more. :)

Who is Buster more bonded to. I would have him stay with the one who is his care taker and he has bonded to. The other person can get a new baby and be it's care taker.
Just my humble oppinion.
