The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for January 13, 2025

“It is not the size of the dog in the fight that counts, but the fight in the dog that wins.”— Arthur G. Lewis, columnist (April 1911 issue of the magazine “Book of the Royal Blue” which was published for the passengers of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. “Stub Ends of Thoughts”

Hah! Throw the book at him!

The defendant looks awfully pleased :-D

Although there is no question the defendant stole the merchandise, we find him not guilty, as stealing merchandise is what thieves do.

Only works for billionaire dogs…

Look like a biased jury.

It’s OK. He identifies as a doberperson.

Discharging a firearm inside a doghouse.

We do not, however, find him to be a good boy.

I was walking my Doberman when a neighbor’s tiny dog tried to attack us. Their teenager thought it was funny until I threatened to take my dog off the leash. the next week I was walking by myself when the same dog and kid came out after me. Again he thought that it was funny until I warned him that if I got bit I’d stomp on the dog, punch him in the face, and sue his parents. it wasn’t until I started coming towards him that he called in the dog and went in the house. I really wouldn’t have hurt the dog but I sure wanted to punch his laughing face.

Give me a big dog any day – they don’t feel like they have anything to prove ;)

Ah. The same justice like for sex offenders if they happen to be old, white, rich men.

You forgot to say “Who’s a good boy”. :)

We had a toy dachshund for a while. He was my son’s dog. One of the neighbor boys (a bit of a bully)came over to pick a fight with my son and the dachshund went after him. His grandmother retaliated by calling animal control. We had the option of paying the vet to quarantine him for two weeks or he would be put down.

Those were the only options available to us. If he had been a breed that is known to have aggressive tendencies, like a German shepherd, I would have had no choice. My dog would have been killed. So think twice before you consider allowing your dog to “do what they do.”

Let go on a technicality.
