Even being speculation, it’s the most plausible. Dogs know when there is something going on in their yard, commotion, and what not. They absolutely know when someone enters their house through the front door. Unless Chloe is deaf, she would be going crazy if locked in a closet that morning. All imo. My dogs sleep in beds in kennels and if someone comes to the door they are barking and scratching to be let out. I have a very hard time believing that a German Shepard was in that house that morning.I believe the whole "daughter took the dog" misconception started with a post I made yesterday about it, although I clearly stated in my post that it was MOO and deduced by me after watching Trial 1. I never stated anyone testified to it, though.
