From Times Wire Reports

Rocket, a dog who survived Hurricane Katrina and ended up in a Pennsylvania home, was back with his owner in New Orleans after a custody fight that went to court.

The suburban Philadelphia couple who adopted the chow-Finnish spitz mix returned the dog to previous owner Sheila Combs, lawyers for both sides said.

Combs agreed to drop a lawsuit she filed last month against Lynne and Joseph Welsh and the kennels that handled the dog before the Welshes adopted him. The attorneys would not comment further on the settlement.
