Jawboning is very concerning.

If you're going to co-own, make sure there is a clear contract of consequences and responsibility. These are emotion filled cases, with judges and juries being very unpredictable in following the law unfortunately. Why unfortunately? Because the outcomes are unpredictable in a convoluted attempt to do "right" by the dog and the people, making these horribly painful cases that forever destroy trust ... in the system, the law, and people.

To avoid being spotted, Dave Jennings waited just outside a Hampton, Va., dog show while a friend hunted among hundreds of crates and pooches for Oscar—a 150-pound Cane Corso whose career was taking off.

Soon, Jennings made his move. The 52-year-old chiropractor, officially listed as the dog’s co-owner, slipped into the show area himself. He opened Oscar’s crate, put a lead around his neck and hustled him out to a rented SUV bound for Kansas City, Kan.

“Come on, buddy,” Jennings told him, “we’re going home.”

Panic erupted at the dog show. Oscar’s handler, finding the empty crate, frantically called the police. The venue went into lockdown.

Betsy Shauck, listed as the dog’s other co-owner, soon got a text from Jennings’s wife: “Oscar is safely back in our care. You may direct any communication to our lawyer.”

Six years later, a costly legal battle still rages over the winningest Cane Corso in American Kennel Club history.
