Cesar's Palace
Le texte de cette belle pub pour pour Cesar est tiré d'une plaidoirie datant de 1870. De cette plaidoirie est tirée l'expression : le chien est le meilleur ami de l'homme.

A nearby neighbor, Leonidas Hornsby, owned a considerable amount of livestock. Because Hornsby had lost some sheep, presumably due to attacks by local dogs, he swore to shoot any dog he found on his property. On October 28, 1869, Hornsby found Old Drum wandering near his yard and ordered one of his hired hands to shoot him.

After several appeals following hearings in lower level courts, the case eventually ended in an appeal to the Supreme Court.
