You are soooooooo right. He would have left the maice at home and headed down to the cop shop for the visit.
The show is sometimes cheesy but I think Dog is probably a fair guy and his TV show portrays how he really lives. He takes his corny self very seriously-and somehow it is quite refreshing.
I never miss the show. It's corny, and very honest. Dog and his family being themselves, "warts and all".
