Good question. If both you and your former boyfriend own an animal, a custody fight over it can result much like parents over children where there is a marital dissolution.
In order to prevent such a problem in the future, I recommend that you and your former boyfriend reach some written custodial agreement concerning the jointly owned dog that you have written about. A family law attorney can be consulted to assist you in this endeavor.
