It’s A Dog’s Life
Murphy Smith of Bentonville, Arkansas was subpoenaed to testify in a murder case, but he encountered the same problem as Monty Slater in Manchester, England, who was offered a Gold Master Card with a £10,000 limit and a chance to win frequent flyer miles by the Royal Bank of Scotland: Murphy, like Monty is a Shih Tzu.
I realized that Shih Tzus are little better that mobile dust mops, but it is pure speciesism to deny them their day in court, or dismiss their credit worthiness.
