We were recently given a dog by an acquaintance, reason being she was moving into a smaller place.

We were given all the dog's paperwork, bed, food and directions for looking after. We picked the dog up after 9 days after agreeing to take it.

Then 4 days after having the dog, she wants us to return it, due to family reasons. It was not a trial.

Where do I stand regarding ownership of pets?
