Alanis Morissette Locked in a Battle for Return of Dog

By Amy Sinatra Ayres | vetstreet.com


Mario "Souleye" Treadway, the singer's husband, filed a lawsuit against a former house manager for the theft of the couple's dog. Treadway alleges that Maria Garcia and another family consultant, Patrick Murch, have refused to give the couple's Chihuahua and Pug mix back to them after Garcia stopped working for the couple on Jan. 21.

In the suit filed on March 5, Treadway says he wants the couple's rescued street dog returned and asks for $25,000 in damages and court costs. According to court papers, the dog, Circus, lived with Garcia and Murch in 2013 while Morissette and Treadway had busy travel schedules, but that the arrangement was only temporary.

In an email included in the suit, Garcia asks that she and Murch be given ownership of Circus because he and their other dogs had "become inseparable." Treadway says the two have breached their agreement to return the dog. - Read it at People Pets
