Baylor gives law degree to a dog.

When Amy Jones received her law degree from Baylor University, her playful service dog, Skeeter, got the same honor.

As Jones got her juris doctor on Saturday, Skeeter received an honorary law degree.

"Amy has busted through brick walls, and Skeeter has been faithfully by her side every step of the way," law school Dean Brad Toben said. "Skeeter has become a part of our community and part of our family here at the law school."

McCuiston said Skeeter will occasionally add a growl to a professor's lecture for added emphasis.

Boy, sometimes the jokes just write themselves.

• Curb your attorney.
• When is your dog not man's best friend? When he sues you for breach of contract.
• Man, you're lawyer's a real bitch!
• Why does your lawyer lick his balls? Because his butthole smells like a lawyer.
• Why do Baylor dogs go to law school and Korean dogs get eaten? Korean dogs got first pick.
• Finally, an ambulance chaser than can actually catch them!
• Looks like the average I.Q. of Texas lawyers just went up a tick.
• New question on the Texas State Bar Exam: Are you afraid of vacuum cleaners? [actually, that was added in 2004]
• New from Armani: A $400 flea collar.
• And in the immortal words of Bob Barker, don't forget to have your attorney spayed or neutered.
• Your honor, counsel is badgering the witness!

And, so forth.
