No doubt spoken before, after or somehow relative to someone flea ... er,
fleeing.

Subject: Lie down with dogs ...
Spoken by a character on tonight's CSI:
"If my father had seen anyone hurt me or my sister, _he would have
laid them down with dogs!_"
This is a sentence no doubt composed by a writer and hardly
spontaneous, but, IMO, an interesting interpretation of the aphorism,
nevertheless.
