Borrowed breeding male dog finishes his job, neighbour retains it, matter in court

A German shepherd dog plays with a mat.

They say a dog is a man's best friend, but what if the same pet becomes a subject of ownership tussle between two friends that eventually ends up in court?

This is the case for two neighbours fighting over a pet dog that has led to a costly court battle as a man claims the woman in the suit failed to return the pet borrowed to mate and breed her dam.
