United StatesA man writes to a parenting advice column asking whether it is cruel to demand that his wife's sister relinquish ownership of her dog, which the couple has been caring for for over a year and a half. The sister initially asked them to take in the dog during her divorce, promising to find pet-friendly housing within four months. However, due to financial difficulties, she has yet to secure such housing. The writer believes it is time to set a deadline for the sister to either find suitable housing or transfer ownership of the dog, as they have covered all of its expenses. His wife disagrees, calling the idea 'cruel.' The columnist responds by suggesting that the couple has effectively been the dog's caretakers for a long time and that legal ownership may not matter much in practice.
