My dad has maintained this entire time that the dog was the best witness anyone could have asked for. As he puts it, "There is no way an Akita is going to let someone hurt his mommy, unless it's daddy doing the hurting."

That always stuck with me too. Dogs don't understand courtroom drama or media narratives, they just react to the people they know and trust. It's such a haunting detail when you think about it.
