A man surnamed Chen was recently ordered to let his former wife Huang see their pet dog at least once a month in Guilin, a city in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Huang filed a lawsuit against Chen last month because Chen never let her see the pet dog after they got divorced a year ago.

Chen and Huang married five years ago and had no children.

Both Chen and Huang like the dog very much and used to treat it as their own child. The dog has been raised by Chen after they were divorced. The court ruled in favour of the plaintiff, saying Huang has a right to see the dog.
