Answer #1

hannah4965 does not know what she is talking about. A dog is property and if he gave it to you the dog is yours legally and he can’t legally take it back. Any attorney could help you but you would probably need money for that. You might see if there is a Legal Aid group in your area that might help you. You could also check out to see if your local county court has “small claims” court where people go without lawyers. Often they have forms for that sort of thing. Good luck.

kayyy?!…thats why I put “my mom is looking into it too” or somthing like that…

Answer #3

Sorry, 13 year olds can’t ‘own’ property. Your mother could sue for the return of your dog…but not you.

Answer #4

thank you so much your a life saver haha :DD!!!

Answer #5

Not that I know of, it may have been a gift, but if he bought it, its his. Sorry
