What is the name of your state? Michigan
about 6 years ago my brothers dog, under a year in age, had ran away. I loved her from the beginning and had to find her beings that my brother didn't want her back because of her having a wild personality. I had made flyers to hang which my boyfriend of one year at the time and I had hung in the neighborhood. I had called neighbors, etc... but it had been my boyfriend who had found her at a shelter nearby and had signed for her. My boyfriend having two big dogs already did not want another dog but I had talked him into me keeping her. The dog and I had formed a bond that is greater than I have with most people. She was known by most everyone around as more my dog because of the love we shared and that of my boyfriend already having his 2 dogs. Time passed and his 2 dogs passed away leaving my dog and 2 new ones I had adopted. My boyfriend and I had split up mutually after 6 years, 5 being with th dog, but he told me I could NOT take my dog with me. He had threatened me verbally that it would be a "big mistake". I had moved out of the house and had tried to have equal, shared custody but he told me I could only visit her at his house though he lives with his Mom who knows the whole story. I care about his feelings for my dog because I know he loves her which is part of the reason why I haven't taken him to court yet because I don't want it to come to that ... He will hate me ...and he has my other 2 dogs I would like to visit sometimes, but don't want to keep because I want my 1st dog. I also care about my dogs feelings because it will be a big change for her to all of a sudden move out of her home in with me. He will not work out an agreement and I can't just take her because he did sign for her at the shelter in the beginning, but she was my brothers in the first place. What should I do ? She is like my kid and I can't live without her. It has been almost a year I have moved out and have waited and talked, patiently which in the beginning he led me on to believe that I could possibly have her visit some days only. Leading me to think we could share her later. HELP !!!
