Federal Judge Richard Posner mentioned Faith in a recent judicial opinion
Faith the Dog was cited in an opinion before the United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit
In the case ROBINSON v. McNEIL CONSUMER HEALTHCARE PPC
Argued June 2, 2010 -- August 11, 2010
There is no inconsistency in testifying that a dog cannot walk on its hind legs but that if that's wrong and it can, still it can't (unless perhaps its name is Faith, see “Faith the Dog's Official Website,” www.faiththedog.info (visited July 29, 2010)) walk on its hind legs for an hour at a time. A dog can walk on its hind legs, with some training; and a witness who denies this might be thought less credible, in testifying that a dog can't walk on its hind legs for an hour at a time, than if she'd known that a dog can walk on its hind legs. But such a tension is for a jury to weigh.
