Yessss ok so everything goes to you because the dog doesn’t talk doesn’t read doesn’t understand anything so basically , the dog is part of you your property so if something happens to it they can give the dog away and give you a penalty to you it might seem like a dog is not much but to other people is like they have children so the will is free will.
In my opinion, working directly with the offenders and victims are more important rather than doing crime-related research, because working with them helps us understand them better on how they act and reason towards dealing with their personal respective feelings.
I hope it somehow helps you
