Custody Dispute Dog

Honey, a boxer-lab mix, sits with Jessica Sardina in Bangor in an undated photo. Sardina sued to share custody of Honey, who was adopted by Sardina’s former boyfriend.

This undated photo provided by Jessica Sardina shows Honey, a boxer-lab mix, and herself in Bangor, Maine. A custody battle in Maine Supreme Judicial Court focuses on the dog. Maine law allows a judge to order married couples to share custody of animals, but that standard doesn’t apply to unmarried couples splitting up. Jessica Sardina is challenging a ruling that her former boyfriend is Honey’s sole owner because his signature appeared on adoption papers. (Samantha Sardina via AP)
