If you had civics in high school, you may remember the
underlying principles for “Property Law,” which is the area of law that defines
the types and rights of ownership for both real and personal property. The word
“real” meaning actual property such as a parcel of land and “personal” meaning
just about any other type of object or possession that you might own such as a
car, a book, a pencil …you get the picture.
But did you know that cocker spaniels have their own set of Property Laws that bear no
resemblance to our laws, and they look like this:
- If I like it, it’s mine.
- If it’s in my mouth, it’s mine.
- If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine.
- If I can take it from you, it’s mine
- If it just looks like mine, it’s mine.
- If I saw it first, it’s mine.
- If it’s edible, it’s mine.
- If I chew something up, all the pieces are
still mine.
- If I break it, it’s yours.
- If it’s mine, it will never be yours.
- If I get tired of it, it’s yours.
- If I want it back, it’s mine.
