Webb v. Amtower


The court applied the forum's traditional

lex loci

conflict-of-laws rule to determine what jurisdiction's law governed for both damages and recovery of possession.

The court remanded the case to determine the law of the place where the dog was found to determine the right-to-possession since that was a personal property issue.
