Judge Orders Monkey Returned to Fort Worth Woman


The custody battle over Zoe the Monkey has been resolved -- with a judge in Fort Worth ordering the little simian returned to her owner Heather Grady who's been locked in a dispute with the Humane Society of North Texas. Grady contended that Zoe is a service animal -- needed to help her cope with bi-polar disorder. While Grady was jailed on hot check charges over the summer, a relative caring for Zoe turned her over to the Humane Society which did not want to return her to Grady, fearing that the animal would be neglected. But Grady went to court -- and yesterday, the judge sided with her and ordered Zoe handed over.
