So, no, I'm not concerned that my dog's singing will disrupt the neighborhood. If it does, let them go to court and file a nuisance suit and I'll put Barney on as evidence that he is not a nuisance but a cutie patootie with a voice like an angel.

Unbiased opinion right? He is a cootie patootie, you'll want me in the jury.
