Mere pets, nor show pieces tied to string,
Nor are just our best friends, but offspring,
The skirmish long did run
Till custody war won,
For dogs, times truly are a changing!
____________________________________________________
A couple got married a decade back; was childless with a pair of dogs. Marital discord cropping up they filed for divorce and fought for long for the custody of dogs. The case was settled recently: Rs three million as one-time settlement. The man retained custody of the dogs. It was perhaps the first case when pet dogs were equated with one's offspring!
