WHAT A DOG WOULD DO IN A HOSTAGE SITUATION

- negotiate using reverse psychology

- wear colander on head to look like a space martian

- carefully remove sheriff's badge from jacket, place in front of paws, stick up hands, and walk away slowly

- get blown up because he doesn't even know what a hostage situation is

- remove black hood from head and stick out tongue

- suggest playing a game of truth or dare

- rolling over and/or playing dead is not in this dog's vocabulary

- astonish everyone by opening yapper to negotiate in Ancient Greek

- play a rousing rendition of hits from "Fiddler on the Roof" as a really irritating distraction

- beg to be fed lamb and rice mix for last meal
