According to the Palais de Justice of Paris, France, a dog was served as a witness in a trial, the first (and so far only one) of its kind, albeit only in a preliminary hearing. The pooch was brought in the courtroom so that his reaction could be seen when he approached the defendant, accused of killing the poor dog’s master. The furious barks apparently convinced the judge that there is sufficient cause for the case to be brought to trial.

I just hope he didn’t bark at the wrong tree - or defendant.
