A Mumbai-based couple, granted divorce last week after 18 years of marriage, decided to share the custody of their two pet dogs they had rescued three years ago. They have chalked out a plan deciding who would have the dominant custody with a clause of informing each other when they take the canines for vacation.

The childless couple, who are in their early 40s, parted ways due to irreconcilable differences with their habits, views and lifestyles not matching. However, they did not want to split their dogs, who are siblings, the Times of India said in a report.
