The Rachel Maddow Show

It was a Sherlock Holmes story where a racehorse named Silver Blaze disappeared, and the horse's trainer was found dead. The detective concluded that the trainer was killed by the horse, not murdered, because the watchdog did not bark. This detail led Sherlock Holmes to conclude that the trainer was the one who took the horse because the dog knew him and did not find his presence unusual.

It was a Sherlock Holmes story where a racehorse named Silver Blaze disappeared, and the horse's trainer was found dead. The detective concluded that the trainer was killed by the horse, not murdered, because the watchdog did not bark. This detail led Sherlock Holmes to conclude that the trainer was the one who took the horse because the dog knew him and did not find his presence unusual.

"

It is technically called The Adventure of Silver Blaze, but nobody remembers that.

The clue that everybody remembers, the clue that unlocks the whole plot of the story is that on the night when the horse disappeared, when somebody came into the stables and led that horse out of the stables, there was a watchdog in the stables that did not bark.

And absolutely nobody remembers that as The Adventure of Silver Blaze, because everybody remembers that as The Dog That Didn't Bark.

It didn't happen. He then directed his followers explicitly multiple times. Okay, yeah, this is what I meant. Now's the time. Get out there. This is it. Go like I said you would. But nothing happened.

The dog did not bark.
