Dog takes stand in downtown Houston courtroom

Wednesday, February 21, 2007

There was an unusual sight in one downtown Houston courtroom as a dog testified in an arson case.

The chocolate lab, named Hunter, is used to sniff out accelerants by the Harris County Fire Marshal's Office.

Today during an arson trial, Hunter actually took the stand and did a demonstration about what he did during the fire investigation. In all, Hunter has testified in at least half a dozen cases and investigated more than 400 fires.
