The Dog at the Butcher Shop
A woman watched a dog go into a butcher's shop.
"What is it today?" asked the butcher. "Pork?"
The dog shook its head.
"Beef?" suggested the butcher.
The dog shook its head.
"Lamb chops?" tried the butcher.
The dog wagged its tail excitedly.
The butcher wrapped up two lamb chops, gave them to the dog and the dog trotted out. The same thing happened the following day and the woman was so intrigued that she decided to follow the dog out of the shop. She saw the dog walk up the steps to a house, stand on his hind legs and ring the doorbell with his nose. A man answered the door and immediately started shouting angrily at the dog.
The woman was incensed. "You should be ashamed of yourself," she told the man. "That is the cleverest dog I've ever seen. He goes to the butcher's, fetches your dinner, brings it home and rings the doorbell. And you treat him like that!"
"That's as maybe," said the man, "but it's the fourth time this week that he's forgotten his key."
