Judge Judy Proves Once And For All That Dogs Should Rule The World

If you think nothing good is happening in the world right now, you obviously have not seen this video of Judge Judy letting a dog decide its own fate.
In a case involving a man who claimed the dog a woman had bought for $50 on a sidewalk was in fact his stolen and beloved companion, Judge Judy decided the quickest route to justice would be through the sweet puppy itself. The judge had the dog brought out into the court, where it was put down and allowed to choose who its true owner was.
In the end, Judge Judy proves what we’ve always known to be true: if a dog were president, justice would be a given.

This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
