If you need the dog with you to umpire, how would you know the dog was wrong?

In my one-man FP games, I often tether my Yorkie to the chain link fence behind 1B. He's very friendly, and the park is full of kids who play with him and take him for walks.

But when somebody asks to "appeal" a checked swing, I simply point to Hux ask, "Did she go?" If he barks, the batter offered. No bark means the batter held up. Never had an argument.

Hux is not as useful for rule interpretations, though.
