By legal records I mean adoption records, here they keep a record of owners and dogs, and give them a tag with a number on it so if the dog is lost, the person who finds them can ring the council and give them the number, and they know who owns the dog.

Equal ownership is where it'd get tricky - no idea how to approach that.

But I think the best reason to have these is so if a dog named Steve appears in the future, we don't have to use pipelinks and it makes it easier for new viewers who may know the owner's last name that Steve Hart was Lydia's bird and Steve Tate (for example) is Joe's dog.
