Abstract:

Before forensic evidence, dogs' testimony was considered in court. In 1901, two men were found guilty of theft based solely on bloodhounds tracking down their \"trail.\" Such cases went to the highest court in the state to determine the legitimacy of a dog's ability to \"sniff out\" the guilty.
