In Dog We Trust on Goverment Seal!

Watching the news the other night here in Florida I couldn't believe my eyes!!

Local Police Department ordered new rug with their seal for their office floor and found this:


In Dog We Trust instead of In God We Trust. :B

Article said it must have been a 'typo' by the carpet company.
I seriously doubt that is NOT what happened.

I think they are auctioning the misspelled rug off for some animal humane charity.

The news in Florida is certainly never boring.

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Misspellings are common. In my business I learned that printers do not pay attention to spelling. Often I would get form or contract back with misspellings. (Different printers.) I even had a sign painter misspell our town's name on the side of a fleet vehicle!!

Proof reading is a lost art......no longer required with 'auto sppel'
Is it time for your medication or mine?

Since many police departments use canine units, it may not have been a typo. 🙂

I don't believe either statement is appropriate for the application.

I believe I could have fixed those two letters with a thick black magic marker. I hope they at least sent that rug over to the animal shelter. :B

That's like the agnostic, dyslexic, insomniac that stayed up all night wondering if there was a "DOG."

I hope too that the company corrects their mistake or refunds the money which came from taxpayers. Glad the department is supporting the humane society.
