"Gentlemen of the
Jury..."
Click here to read a 19th century speech
which was responsible for winning a court case in which a man sued
another man for the killing of his dog.
George Graham Vest (1830-1904) served as a US Senator from Missouri
from 1879 to 1903 and became of the leading orators and debators of his
time. This delightful speech is from an earlier period in his life when
he practised law in a small Missouri town.
It
was given in court while representing a man who sued another for the
killing of his dog. During the trial, Vest ignored the testimony,
but when his turn came to present a summation to the jury, he made this speech and won the case.

Dog
Rescues Family from a Fire....Dateline Norway 
A 4
year old GSD named Argo is credited with rescuing a family of four from a house fire in Oslo (?) Norway.
A German Shepherd is credited with
rescuing a family from death when a fire broke out in the dog's home. Argo,
when the fire broke out, went upstairs and in the process opened 2
doors (which he had never been trained to do) in order to get into his
masters bedroom. He then jumped on
the bed and began barking which awoke the
owner.
The owner when awakened evacuated his
family. The owner stated that if
it had been another five minutes they
would have all perished.
The GSD
was rewarded with a nice big steak.
