A jealous husband, who filed for divorce because he felt a pet dog had become the object of his wife's affection, had his case thrown out by the court.

The husband, surnamed Han, in Kengli, Shandong Province, enjoyed a happy marriage with his wife, surnamed Jia, before she brought the dog home last year.

The woman loved the pet so much it was even allowed to sleep with her in bed. Han filed for divorce last June.

The judge said the couple should try to reach an agreement on the best way to treat the pet.
