<p>Every dog has his day! In a bizarre goof up, a dog in the US was mistakenly summoned by a courthouse for jury duty.<br /><br />The 5-year-old German shepherd named 'IV' received the summons to serve on a Cumberland County judicial panel in New Jersey.<br /><br />The summons for the jury duty were mailed to her owner Barret Griner IV but were actually addressed to the dog.<br /><br />"It's kind of comical, you know. To see the actual notice with her name on it. </p>.<p>It's pretty funny," Griner said.<br /><br />The dog's name on her veterinary record appears the same as it does on the summons. Barrett received the summons on Friday.</p>.<p>"But nobody in my house is named IV except the German Shepherd," he was quoted as saying by CBS News.<br /><br />When Barrett first got the summons he pretty much figured it out how the goof up happened.<br /><br />His full name is Barrett Griner IV. </p>.<p>He uses the roman numeral for four and that is also why he named his dog IV, as in using the letters "I and V" as the canine is female.<br /><br />Such mix-ups are commonplace, Cumberland County Judiciary Coordinator Dennis Moffa said, adding that this happens especially when roman numerals are involved.<br /><br />"This happens many times...If you had John Henry IV, sometimes the notice might just say Henry IV," Moffa told the WCAU-TV.<br /><br />"I had to laugh at it," Griner said.</p>
