Man Fights for Custody of Late Wife's Service Dog
Updated on August 2, 2021 at 10:00 pm When Paul Marinsky took his dog, Tootsie, to have her ears cleaned last fall, he never imagined that could be the last time he'd see her. But when he returned, the veterinarian told him a representative from a Maryland company showed up to take the dog, and he had to let her go. Tootsie was a service dog for Paul’s wife, Brittani, and had been with their family for about a year and a half. He told the News4 I-Team Brittani was the love of his life and losing her to cancer last August was hard enough.
