A: Dear Mrs or Mr,

dog should be in your ownership according to what you described, that means you shall have right to have him, and right to decide where the dog will live.

I advice you to warn your ex that you can sue him and get your dog back this way. And that would be very costly for him. Maybe this will help. If not, I recommend you to contact the local attorney to help you with this case.

I wish you a good luck with this case and hope that your dog will be ok.
