Maybe my pup could help. He's dressed up and everything. /a/B5bFQ
Ssssssssssss
I'm pretty sure I'd spend more time cuddling the dog than testifying.

Had to make a profile because I work for this company that trains these awesome dogs! We're a non-profit and place service dogs for free!!

This! This only reinforces the VMD, victim mentality disorder. Sure, facing your abuser in court is hard, but this is actually a bad thing.

My pup comes and stops me when my leg starts shaking.

When a lab rests its head on your leg and looks up, that's one of the best things ever.

Do the abusers get cats that they can put on their laps and stroke like a Bond villain?

When I trained for CCI (dog on left) they were just trained for hearing impaired an physically disabled..

This is why I love my roommate's dog. Always notices when something is wrong. Dogs are great. People suck sometimes.

I know the person who started this program for abused children in WA state. She told me it made a tremendous difference.
Thankyouhaveaniceday
Here is a link related to the program https://www.clark.wa.gov/sites/default/files/Tabitha%20paper.pdf.

Hello- I would like to contact the program to request a service dog for my trial. Would have any numbers or emails address? Thank you
Thankyouhaveaniceday
It's for children. And I'm pretty sure it's in the investigation process not on stand but I could be wrong.

I think this is lovely, but it really can influence a jury. Have a clearly lying client? Have them cuddle Fido while they talk.
TheQueenofLakeIlmen
It erodes the presumption of innocence. An alleged victim using a therapy dog during trial makes the accusations appear true.
ITalkAboutGoats
would they even see the dog? If it was behind the witness' stand?
elucidatefurther
If a liar is using a comfort dog as a prop, they will make sure the jury sees it. I totally feel for victims, this is just problematic.
ITalkAboutGoats
I dunno, you could say the same about they dress, or even how pretty the witness is. Or the mannerisms of their speech. There are a lot.
elucidatefurther
Absolutely on all points, but a witness's physical attributes can't rly be controlled in a courtroom setting. The presence of animals can.
ITalkAboutGoats
Sure you can, you can have a voice modulator and black out screens.

Dog on the left: "I'm only here for the hot dogs" -probably
FakePlasticAlex
This seems wildly unfair to the defense.
quisnon
There are a bunch of cases this, it gets litigated a lot. Defense attorneys hate this stuff.
vindik8or
For good reason - it implies a reality to the accusation before anything has even been proven.
DarthFutuza
I'm pretty sure they can use them too if they want.
imooforyou
This is really rare though. Only in cases where the offence is extreme and the person testifying is inconsolable. They still have to testify
pokes4ever
Isn't being in the same room as the individual who anused you pretty unfair?
Morrigi
The defendant has the right to face the accuser in court.
LeviSmith
Point of being in court is to figure out if the abuse really happened, and its assumed it didnt by the court until proven otherwise
quisnon
No.
Clayless
That seems incredibly manipulative.
MelodyLightfoot
These dogs are trained to recognize certain common human behaviors when they are faced with trauma and to respond accordingly. (1/2)
MelodyLightfoot
Would you rather the witness fall apart and not be able to testify properly? The dogs aren't there to make the jury go "Awww!"
KillingTheJoke1
Notice there are no cats who do this
theeeerrrreeeessaaa
I've had 6 cats and they were all angels. It honestly kinda pisses me off when ppl hate just cause they've had one bad experience with cats

I bet a mini pig would be good at this though.

Many cats can't handle being in new situations w/ new people all the time; also, more people are allergic to cats than dogs.

Did that cat just cuddle after humping that dude?

My kitty comes running when I'm crying or upset. Smooshes all up on me and naps her little head against me. She'd be great in a courtroom

My cat was also very comforting when someone in the family wept or was distressed. He was the best.

cats will go comfort dying people. make them feel relaxed by purring as they add another soul to their collection.

This is true. I've heard of nursing homes with resident cats where the employees know who will pass soon by who the cat is cuddled with.

Unsurprising plot twist: Cats are actually the abusers.

What is it about people who like dogs that makes them hate on cats constantly?

Well one is a lovable friend who will be there for you no matter what. The other scratches you and knocks shit off your counter bc fuck you.

I hope its just in good humor usually, but I feel like sometimes its just people who are shitty cat owners and blame their pets for it.

Because cats don't like me! They're the ones that have a problem with me! ...plus I had recurring nightmares about them as a kid

It might help to learn how to "speak cat". Their body language is very different from dogs.
freePeterNincompoop
Is there a tutorial for that...or am I supposed to figure it out on my own...?

There are books, videos, you could google it... Here's a guide from Catster.com http://www.catster.com/cat-behavi">ster.com">Catster.com http://www.catster.com/cat-behavior/how-to-talk-to-your-cat

First & foremost: cats are paranoid. They are always worried about their safety. Most cats are cautious/terrified of strangers, so when 1/?
