Good Dog
A butcher was about to close up shop one night when a dog walked in, carrying a paper bag in its mouth. The butcher tried to shoo the dog away, but it wouldn’t leave. Instead it set the bag down and barked at it. So the butcher looked inside of the bag, and found some money and a note.
The note said:
1 lb Italian sausage
2 lbs Pork chops
So the butcher filled the order, made change for the dog, put it all in the bag and handed it back to the dog. The dog grabbed the bag in its mouth and left.
Well, the butcher was pretty amazed, so he decided to follow the dog, since he was closing up shop anyway.
He followed the dog down the street, where he witnessed the dog walk up to a street corner and wait for the walk signal. When the signal came, the dog crossed the street.
The butcher, now thinking that this was the smartest dog he had ever seen, followed.
The dog ended up at a bus stop. Several buses went by, and the dog just sat there. Finally, when the number 32 bus arrived, the dog got on. So did the butcher.
After a while the dog got off the bus, and the butcher followed. The dog walked down a long street until he got to a house. He jumped up to the gate and opened the latch, then walked towards the house. When he got to the front step, he set the bag down and rang the doorbell with his nose.
The butcher, witnessing this, was now convinced that this was the world’s smartest dog. He was flabbergasted!
The dog rang the doorbell a few more times, when finally a man answered. “You stupid, stupid dog!”, he said.
The butcher then piped up, “What do you mean ’stupid’? This dog is a genius!”
“No, he’s an idiot. He forgot his keys again!”
