[nagdu] Dog ownership in other areas of the world

[Star Gazer]

				I'd like to know this too. 
Also, Lisa you mentioned that some health insurance companies give ownership
to the handler? How would one get on such a plan?

Hi Lisa.
I'm trying to get my head around my health insurance company owning my dog.
If they decide to take it away from the handler, what happens to it?
 Here, health insurance companies are giant mega-corporations.  As a
business, they'd have no idea what to do with an actual living creature in
their care.
