Max (Bernese Mountain Dog) goes back and forth and decides where he wants to sleep that night. All 4 little girls are thrilled. Max is happy and so are his hoomans.

So far it's working out, but in the back of my mind, I could see them ending up as a Jerry Springer episode if they ever have a falling out.
Not to mention, who pays for food and vet bills? And what happens if someone moves, who gets the dog? I would hope the original owner.

I think every situation would have it's own uniqueness and it would completely depend on the situation. I would never do it because I just wouldn't want to share my dog. I can tend to be selfish.
