By Amelia Proud PUBLISHED: 17:49 EST, 30 July 2012 | UPDATED: 08:18 EST, 31 July 2012 As any pet owner knows... a split can be painful for animals you have reared together. And though they may not have any children, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are parents to a rescue dog called Bear, who has just found himself at the centre of a bitter custody dispute. Kristen, 22, also has a cat, Max, who she will keep but 26-year-old Robert wants Bear – the mixed breed rescue they adopted from a high-kill shelter in New Orleans. Bone of contention: Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are arguing over who gets custody of their rescue dog, Bear, in their split  (here pictured with Kristen at New York's Bowery)
