A pair of cocker spaniels and their mom are at the center of a legal tussle between a Long Island couple and a Queens animal-rescue group battling over who gets to keep the pups.For more on every law student's favorite cattle, I heartily recommend To Err is Human, to Moo Bovine: The Rose of Aberlone Story, a law review article by Prof. Norman Stockmeyer.
No one knew 3-year-old Haley was pregnant when Edward and Mary Watson, of Northport, took her home in August from Bayside-based Abandoned Angels Cocker Spaniel Rescue.
The pooch had an appointment to return for spaying. But two weeks after Haley moved in with the Watsons, they noticed something was wrong and took her to a vet.
A sonogram revealed Haley was about to become a mommy, with a vet determining she had gotten pregnant long before the Watsons brought her home. That's when things got ruff.
Dolores Rodrigues of Abandoned Angels insisted the dogs be returned. The group filed a lawsuit against the couple Oct. 29, claiming the group has a right to make certain the puppies land in a good home.
