>> At one point, yes.
>> Judge Judy: From when to
when?
>> For six months.
>> Judge Judy: For six months.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: During that
six-month period, the two of you
decided to play house and buy a
dog, so you did.
What kind of a dog did you get?
>> I got a bully.
>> Judge Judy: What is that?
>> A pit bull mixed with a
pocket pit.
>> Judge Judy: And then you
moved out of your boyfriend's
apartment.
And piecing all of this
together, your mother said,
"You can come home.
Not the dog." Right?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: So, you knew the
defendant, and according to you,
you said, "No longer with the
boyfriend.
My mother says I can't have the
dog.
Could you take care of --"
Her or him?
>> It's a her.
>> Judge Judy: And you took the
dog when?
>> December 2016.
>> Judge Judy: Now you want the
dog back.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Where are you
gonna put her?
>> My house 'cause my mom
eventually saw the situation
that was going on, and she just
eventually said, "You could
bring her home"...
>> Judge Judy: Then you
should've brought your mother
here.
>> Oh, okay.
>> Judge Judy: Then you
should've brought your mother
instead of your godmother.
>> Well, she had to work.
So, sorry.
>> Judge Judy: You should've
brought your mother instead of
your godmother.
>> Okay.
[ Light laughter ]
>> Judge Judy: I don't need you.
the matter is, when you were
there with the police to try to
get the dog back because the two
of you had a falling-out because
there was a fight with a mutual
friend, girl -- stupid girl sort
of stuff, then you said, "I'm
taking my dog back."
You took the police to her house
to get the dog.
And when the police asked you,
"What are you gonna do with the
dog?" you said, "I'll figure it
out."
>> No, Your Honor.
I told them I was taking her
home.
>> Judge Judy: Really?
You have a police report that
shows me that?
This doesn't say anything about
you being able to take the dog
home.
>> Well, I told the police
officer that.
If they didn't write it down --
But I physically told them, "I'm
taking her home."
>> Judge Judy: Well, my question
is, she's been taking care of
this dog for how long for you?
>> When I told her to give her
back to me, it was two weeks.
And then now it's been --
>> Judge Judy: Two weeks?
>> Yes.
It's been two weeks when I asked
her back.
Now it's been two months 'cause
she refused to give me the dog
two weeks when I asked her.
>> Judge Judy: When did she
bring you the dog?
>> The beginning of December.
>> December 15.
>> Judge Judy: December 15th.
Then she came to you -- this
was December 27th.
So you've had the dog for two
months, but she asked you for
the dog back immediately.
>> Because we had -- All right,
so, the mutual friend -- we had
a disagreement.
>> Judge Judy: I don't care
about that.
>> Okay, well, it's a part of
it.
>> Judge Judy: She asked you
back for the dog practically
immediately, within two weeks.
>> The only reason why she wants
the dog is because I decided
that I didn't want to be friends
with her or the other girl.
So, it's not like she could get
the dog right away because here
in my phone, I spoke to her
former ex-boyfriend.
And she called him to try to get
the dog back when he already
knew.
So she didn't have a place for
the dog to go until the second
time the cops came to my house.
The cops came two times.
The first time is when she told
the cops she didn't have a place
for the dog to go.
The second time around is when
she had her mom all of a sudden
agree that she could have the
dog in the house.
So the first time around, she
did ask for the dog back, but
that's when I didn't want to
give her the dog because she
didn't have anywhere for the dog
to go.
>> Judge Judy: Oh, and then she
came back again.
>> A second time.
Yeah.
And I was the one that suggested
for to come with the cops
because I already have Googled
this.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
came for the dog the first time,
did you have a place to take the
dog the first time?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: You came to the
house twice.
>> Yes, with the police.
>> Judge Judy: Now, do you want
the dog?
>> Yes. I love the dog.
>> Judge Judy: You're willing to
pay for the dog?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Do you really
have a place for the dog?
>> Yes, I do.
>> Judge Judy: Do you want the
dog or you want the money for
the dog?
>> I want my dog.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
I'll prepare an order.
You get the dog back.
We're done.
