Roch Interpretation
The household is everyone under one roof and the dog they keep, not just the name on the lease. It is the unit a dog actually belongs to.
Examples
Compliant
A couple, their child, and the family dog are treated as one household sharing the home.
Not compliant
A policy refuses to recognise a dog as the household's because it is registered to the partner who is not named on the lease.
