Hello, Molly the Collie here, reporting from the
courthouse.
The District attorney called his first witness,
George, who wanted to go for a ride in his car. I think he needed to buy treats
for his dog, but he didn’t actually say that. Anyway, his car was gone –
stolen!!!!!
Later, a police officer found the car with Rudy in
it. He asked George if he had given Rudy permission to take his car, and George
said, “no.” The plot thickens – Rudy had special sticks for breaking into other
people’s cars.
Then Alice McGuilecudy took the stand. She was
getting ready to go to work (which is a waste of time, if you ask me), and her
car wasn’t there. Another officer found Rudy taking a back pack and a car
stereo out of Alice’s car.
There were seven more witnesses including four
police officers. The stories were all the same. Rudy was found in stolen cars
with sticks for car-stealing in his pocket. It looked bad for good ol’ Rudy.
Then Jerome, the defense lawyer called Rudy to the
stand. Rudy explained that it was all a mistake. Rudy thought he was borrowing
the cars from his friends. And he only took the stereo out of Alice’s car
because it was dirty, and he wanted to polish it up.
The next witness was Officer Kevin Hansen. From the
moment he entered the courtroom, my keen nose detected an elite air about him,
a sense of something noble, heroic even. I pricked up my ears in anticipation
waiting for him to be sworn in.
Be still, my doggie heart! I hadn’t dared to hope as
much, but yes, the man was a dog handler! He worked with the K-9 Corp, an
elite group of animals sworn to protect and to serve us.
I look up to these dogs. They are my heroes.
You won't believe what happened next. Just wait till you read tomorrow's report.
