I admire his loyalty to the pooch. I’d do anyone for my two mutts as well, but this guy is going to loose. Roxy is company property. Hopefully they can reach an agreement where M&M gets away from bad press and recoups some money on the training, homie comes up with some cash out of pocket, signs a no compete and keeps Roxy.
Sounds like the dog would be traumatized if they were forced to part. I'm a cat person, but I hope he wins this fight.
