A man shot his neighbour's hound and the owner sued. Summing up, George Graham Vest ignored the evidence entirely and told the jury that the one absolutely unselfish friend a man can have in this selfish world is his dog. The jury found for the plaintiff, the phrase man's best friend entered the language, and there is a statue of the dog outside the courthouse.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
