No. There is no such thing as custody for a dog. Dogs are property. Whomever purchased the dog, it is their property. There may be a legal dispute over who owns the property, but that's for a civil court to decide.

Additionally, you can show proof of ownership through veterinary records, adoption papers, or microchip information if available.
