Witness

The name acknowledges the profound trust placed in the dog's senses, which are so reliable they can be presented as evidence in court. The dog becomes a silent, biological witness for the prosecution or a search party.

From the Old English 'witnes,' meaning 'knowledge, testimony,' from 'witan,' meaning 'to know.'

The name connects the ancient, almost magical art of tracking with the modern, intellectual world of cryptography and problem-solving.

Juris

The name reflects this serious, quasi-legal status, recognizing the dog as a purveyor of forensic truth.

The genitive singular of the Latin word 'jus,' meaning 'law, right, duty.'
