Woman must share custody dog ​​with neighbor

miami - A bitter argument between two neighbors about who actually has the most right to the dog has turned into a unique arrangement. The judge ruled that Tina Marie Walker, who adopted the animal, will have to share custody with her former neighbor.

Already in 2016 the American Tina Marie Walker adopted her dog Elario. The dog was then four years old. However, in the past five weeks she can no longer call him 'her' dog, because the former neighbor of Tina Marie, David, has just as much right to custody of the dog, according to the judge.

'I do not understand it because in the state of Florida a dog is seen as a possession. He is registered in my name, I paid for him ', Tina Marie tells Fox News.

Initially it was cake and egg between Tina Marie and David, a Vietnam veteran who recovered from surgery for lung cancer. 'I loved him and I took care of him for more than two years,' says Tina Marie. Their band, however, soured when Tina Marie had the dog Elario cut and registered under her name. She would have kept the dog away from David afterwards, after which she filed a lawsuit.

On 8 March, the court ruled: 'Both parties have health problems that are alleviated by spending time with Elario. Both parties have spent a lot of time with the dog and witnesses say that he shows a lot of affection for both of them. 'Therefore she condemned the two to shared custody. Every two weeks Elario spends the weekend with David, before returning to Tina Marie. 'I do not understand this at all. I am betrayed, my heart is broken, my dog ​​is divided, 'said the latter.
