If you convince the court that you bought the dog for yourself, and either using your ex's money was a gift to you from her or a loan which you repaid, the court will rule that the dog is yours. I assume, however, that your ex disputes this, and claims that either she bought the dog for herself, or that you gifted it to her. It depends on who the judge (or jury if you have a jury trial) believes.
