Rocco Junior is just over a year old with a glossy grey coat and a tongue that often flops out of the side of his mouth – he’s also the subject of an unprecedented legal battle in Ontario scheduled to unfold this summer.
When reached for comment, a legal representative for the Carvalho family told CTV News Toronto they would not provide comment on the matter while it remained before the courts. A notice of application filed on behalf of Carvalho's sister, however, claims Verma was never the legal owner of Rocco, that she has repeatedly refused to return the dog, and that her possession of the dog remains unlawful.
In turn, if the courts were to side with Carvalho’s family, it would establish a legal foundation to pull animals away from pre-existing living conditions, even if they are not specifically named in a person's estate planning. When it comes to the Carvalho application, Cura said the respondents will need to prove that Rocco Junior was indeed a gift, which could be a difficult task to achieve.
