A British Columbia tribunal ruled that Patrick Gall cannot revoke the gift of a dog to his ex-girlfriend, as pets are considered personal property under property law.

A British Columbia Civil Resolution Tribunal ruled that a man, Patrick Gall, cannot revoke the gift of a dog he gave to his ex-girlfriend, Jillian Harding. The tribunal stated that pets are considered personal property and the principles of property law apply to pet ownership. Text messages and evidence supported Harding's claim that Gall had agreed to the arrangement before purchasing the dog. The tribunal ruled that Gall had purchased Huxley as a gift for Harding, making the gift non-revocable.
