Hugh Hefner and his ex-fiancée Crystal Harris are in the midst of a custody battle over their seriously cute pup.

The former couple, who split just days before their nuptials in June, is at odds over who should get to keep their Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Charlie, according to People.

And the Playboy mogul thinks it's only fair he gets the pooch. 

Although Harris previously claimed Hefner let her keep the dog following their split, Hefner said they're still working out where the dog will stay permanently.

"We both love the puppy," Hefner told People. "I told her if she wants to keep the ring and the Bentley, then maybe I can keep the puppy. I [hope] we will work it out."  

"The puppy's valuable, but not $100,000 worth," Hefner went on.

Lesson learned: Next time, get a pup prenup.

So, tell us. What do you think? Should Hefner or Harris keep the pup? Sound off in the comments.
