My husband bought me a dog when we first got married, I loved this dog more than anything in the whole world..time passes me and hubby got a divorce and I moved.. that living situation didnt work out and I asked my Ex to take care of my dog for a few months for me (I knew he would take good care of her) anyways, I just found out that he gave Precious away! He gave her to his brother and his brother's wife -the wife, which hates me more than anyone on the face of the earth! What can I do? She was not a pure breed dog so I have no papers on her of that kind. I do have all my papers from vet visits with my name being on the reciepts as the owner. I also have TONS of picutres of me and her from the last 5 years. Do I have any legal rights or should I plot to steal her back? This woman never took care of her dogs and you could always see there rib cages. It is breakin my heart that my dog could possibly not be fed or showed the love she needs. Please just offer me your opinion... my heart is breaking! P.S. I'm married now and can provide her all the love and care she could ever need.

First you should see a lawyer and get him/her to send a letter to your ex demanding he return the dog to you. Give him 10 days to do so. If he fails file a police report and report the dog stolen as the ex did not answer the demand from the lawyer.
Send the same letter to the brother and his wife also may help.
Good luck

SUE HIS A**. Abosutely sue him and fight to get custody of your dog back from the person you say has her.
If he/she is in an environment where you feel she is in danger call your local SPCA or Police department and they will investigate the conditions where the dog is curently staying. You will be lucky if they remove the dogs and you get yours back from the Police/SPCA. I wish you Luck.

Legally, a dog is considered property, and what he did could be considered theft. I would file a police report.

I would contact a legal aid office. Usually they will give you a consultation for free. That dog is your property and it was not his to give away.

you can sue for the value of the dog at the time of the loss

the problem is that if you sue them, the cash value of the dog is almost nothing- If you ever wondered why you divorsed him, now you know

Yeah you do have to get the police involved. If they don't clear this mess up your next step is court.
