It has finally happened...retired Prince George's County Maryland Circuit Judge Graydon S. McKee III ordered a couple to split custody of their dog. Each will get 6 months of the year with the dog as part of the divorce settlement. Under the law in that state property that is in dispute is sold and the profit split.

I am concerned that our courts are going to be backlogged by canine custody issues.
