Niina Lähteenlahti, a resident of Pori, lost her pet at the beginning of June when the male Tibetan Spaniel she had been keeping remained with its breeder. The family had cared for the dog as their own for half a year, but the contract terms proved to be problematic. The contract stipulates that the dog can be used for breeding purposes, which the Finnish Kennel Club considers controversial. Lähteenlahti did not know it would be the last time she would see the dog, which was in a supermarket parking lot. The situation has been extremely difficult for the family, but the breeder refused to return the dog, and the family cannot do anything about the matter due to the current contract terms. The case raises questions about the fairness of pet contracts and how breeding purposes can affect pet ownership and the loss experienced by a family.
