German Shepherd Adopts Human Boy in Landmark Case

After nearly a year of court proceedings, a German shepherd named Cody has won the right to adopt a young boy who was displaced from his home in 2011.

“Cody has been caring for the boy for nearly two years, but when he decided to make it official, the adoption agency balked and the courts got involved,” says Tony Shek, Cody’s attorney. “For starters, he’s a single parent. Also, he’s a dog.”

Until this point, there had been no legal precedent for inter-species adoption of humans. “It’s very hard to make history in the court system. But we proved that Cody provides a loving and financially stable home, and that he is the best caregiver for the boy. Denial of his adoption rights would be tantamount to discrimination. We are thrilled with the outcome.”

Legal experts say the decision may have implications for a number of similar cases still pending.

Local Dog Just Needs a Little Push

Sources confirm to The Fluffington Post that an area dog named Angel is on the playground, where he spends most of his days chilling out, maxing, and acting all cool – perhaps even shooting some b-ball outside of the school.

But on this day, Angel went right for the swings.

“I saw him climb in there. He was very excited about it,” says Lucy Grigsby, who was visiting the park with her young son. “But, maybe he thought his legs would reach the ground? There was no one to give him a little momentum to get started. The poor guy needed a push.”

It’s unclear from reports whether Angel received a push, or whether he just sat in the swing looking forlorn for some time.

We will keep you apprised of this story as it develops.
