If the dogs were purchased during the marriage they are considered marital property regardless of who paid for them. That means that if you and your spouse cannot agree on who gets the dogs, the court will decide.

She could possibly be charged with animal cruelty for leaving him outside in such weather without water. You could definitely sue her for losing your dog.
