Actually, sounds like the dog belonged to a friend, or at least, ownership is unclear (from the same article):
Quote:
In his original apology statement, Hague said that Sade belonged to a friend. A spokeswoman for the BCSPCA refuted that claim, saying that Sade belonged to Hague and that the BCSPCA had taken custody of the pup.
However, on Tuesday, Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer for BCSPCA, told Fortune that a second person has since come forward “claiming ownership” of Sade. Moriarty said the confusion arose in part because Hague initially told investigators that the dog belonged to him.
