Pets can be bought and sold like other personal property and enforced like any other breach of contract. As with any other type case, the stronger your documentation (1) evidencing a completed transaction (contracts, invoices, receipts, canceled checks) and (2) establishing your indicia of ownership (microchip, veterinary records, licensing, etc.), the stronger your odds of prevailing should she bring any claim against you. This sounds like a simple case of Seller's Remorse.
