Question juridique clé
Whether the Labrador dog should be placed in the husband's care instead of the wife's.
Solution extraite
The dog should remain with the wife; the appeal does not show that the first instance misjudged the welfare-based criteria.
Motifs extraits
The appellate court held that the husband relied mainly on his work schedule without showing how a 100% workload would be compatible with the animal's needs. The first instance had correctly weighed the dog's attachment, the wife's longer and closer care, the familiar environment, and the absence of concrete indications that the wife could not care properly for the dog.
