If you think you’ve found your purrfect match, you may not consider what will happen to your precious pet if there’s trouble in paradise.
At least, Erin Confortini didn’t consider the possibility that her relationship with her ex would end in disaster and heartbreak after being unable to reach a consensus on who would get full custody of their pooch Bella, now 2.
The 24-year-old content creator from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, adopted her dog when she was living with her ex. But their break-up spurred a nightmarish battle over puppy custody and Confortini claims she eventually was sued and forced to shell out $5,000 to keep her beloved pup.
“When you get a pet, you don’t think preemptively about how much you’re going to love the pet, so you don’t think it’s as big of a deal as it actually is,” Confortini told The Post.
“I definitely wish that I did my research on what happens when couples split up,” she added. “That’s just not something that is talked about.”
