I had a golden retriever that loved everybody. But once or twice on our long walks in the canyons, she whined and cried and tried to hide when we passed somebody. It looked like she was getting really bad vibes from those people, and it always put me on my guard. I put no stock in woo or pseudoscience, but it made me wonder.
I had a German Shepherd and when I had quite a bit of work done on a house I was rehabbing, I learned to hire the ones Duke liked and stay away from the ones that he guarded. I believe a he could detect attitude somehow, because he could spot the ones who were honest when they walked in the door.
I have always subscribed to the adage: Love me, love my dog.
I have also found time and time again that my dogs were often more discerning in judging humans than I was.<P< If my dog disliked you than it had a damn good reason.
One small example of this occurred with one of my dogs and a friend of mine. My dog loved everybody – except this guy! I could never understand my dog’s reaction since everyone really liked this young man … until it was discovered that he’d conned an elderly man out of all his savings and robbed another elderly lady of some antiques and jewelry. The dog knew!!

This jury is tainted. Why, they all play poker together on a regular basis.

If someone was accused of stealing brownies, the jury could sniff his backside and know for sure.

Careful. Don’t include any Labradors or other family-friendly dogs. They’ll just say “Everyone’s innocent…….Treat?”

A verdict of innocent is indicated by a face lick. A verdict of guilty is indicated by peeing on the defendants pants leg.

If you’ve never attended a trial, you really should. It will destroy any illusions you might have about honesty, the truth and justice.

I wish we could replace all the GOP senators with dogs. It would be an enormous improvement. Also, it would be a lot more fun to watch.

The problem with dogs on the jury is that they’re so inclined to believe everybody… particularly if they smell like treats.
