Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 28, 2019

And they’re ALL adopted by Wiley

I was going to say “They are his peers” but that would be insulting the dogs

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.

So, the trial will be won by the person who most smells like bacon???

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

Coulda been worse. It coulda been a jury of Cats.

Brings back memories of this. https://dreamdogsart.typepad.com/art/2007/08/micheal-vicks-j.html

It really wouldn’t be fair if you were a cat person.

His defense is just so much kibble.

Love the dog with glasses!

It’s ruff justice.

Nail on the head !

Are they thoroughbred’s or mutts? I’ll take a jury of mutts anytime.

Now I call for my next witness, this tabby. Oh there goes the jury again.

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.

They all behaved until the squirrel showed up, then all hell broke loose.

Meanwhile, it seems right to me!

Needs more Corgi!

Dogs know. Never trust anyone your dog doesn’t like.

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.

that is soooooooooooo true!!!

Your Honor, I object. Defendant has a pork chop in his pocket.

SQUIRREL!!

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

Somebody wake up that bulldoggy with the glasses on! I think that’s the jury foreman.

get real. the defendant just offers treats and he goes scot-free

Spot on!

Amen.

Trump never owned a dog. Tells you all you should need to know.

In all due respect, isn’t this a rerun of a previous iteration of this scene by Wiley? I have it my file of Wiley’s best!

“But, your honor, I wanted a trial with twelve people too stupid to get out of jury duty!”

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

Counterpoint – Dog people include Putin, Hitler, and um…me.

This will work as long as there’s no squirrels on trial.

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!!

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels should be excused from jury duty. They love everyone.

I’ll go for that!

“I swear, so help me dog”

But…only 2 have heads cocked correctly. Obviously the others are not listening! Demand a new jury!

If they start growling when you walk into the courtroom, you know you’re screwed.

Not really. Dogs will lick almost Anyone’s hand if it has lots of Steak Juice on it.

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.

I totally agree.

Verdict: GuiltySentence: Jump on you & lick you to death

Amen, Wiley.

why not a kangaroo?
