That's right she dumped ten thrown out of our house in Massachusetts.

He had to go look for our new place to live in New York he clearly couldn't take the poor dog -- -- could -- wanted to make sure the dog had a roof over it had.

And they had an agreement.

Once thought -- place to live the -- -- with me and then you when I will share custody that's the more plausible story there's no way this guy just walked away from mad dog.

And gave it to the girlfriend there's no way that happen it doesn't what do you letting us.

If -- like property and dog in his kind of situation a divorce or breakup that it's not gonna be like okay -- you can have visitation I mean it's even if she has.

You know ownership -- it's over between Craig and knuckles forever.

It's exactly right on the night -- they're not going to be visitation here its properties so the judge can say it's interesting because the judge in California -- ruled yesterday said.

It's sort this out he doesn't wanna get involved because ultimately nickel back to San Pedro because they do -- There -- some very serious jurisdictional issues here one because the government that -- -- To knuckles from Massachusetts.

Really talk about that we -- haven't dated in New York City doesn't have jurisdiction matter what it should have been either Massachusetts or California either way the -- -- -- force says.
