A Delaware judge ordered a private auction between ex-partners to decide custody of their goldendoodle, citing fairness and the dog’s sentience.
A Delaware judge has ordered a couple to bid against each other in a private auction to decide custody of their 5-year-old goldendoodle, Tucker, after they couldn’t agree on his future.
The ruling by Judge Bonnie W. David in the Delaware Court of Chancery comes after the former partners, who jointly owned the dog since 2020, split in 2022.
The winner will gain custody, the loser the auction proceeds.
The judge, emphasizing dogs are sentient beings with emotional value beyond property, called the auction the fairest method amid conflicting claims.
The decision follows years of legal disputes and acknowledges the emotional toll on both parties, citing a photo of Tucker on a beach as a symbol of his innocence.
