A Landmark Pet Custody Case! How Jeremy Cohen & Brett Lyman Changed Animal Law Forever

On this episode of Why Do Pets Matter?, I had the honor of speaking with Jeremy Cohen, founder of Boston Dog Lawyers, and his client Brett Lyman, who together made legal history in Massachusetts with the landmark case Lyman v. Lancer.

Jeremy and Brett share their journey navigating the complexities of a groundbreaking case that ultimately led to Massachusetts recognizing shared custody agreements for pets. We discussed the thoughtful and patient approach they took, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing the pet's best interests over the human desire to "win."

Join us as we explore the intersection of compassion, law, and the transformative power of pets in our lives. This conversation beautifully illustrates why pets truly matter.
