A dog walked into a butcher shop with a purse strapped around his neck. He walked up to the meat case and calmly sat there until it was his turn to be helped. A man, who was already in the butcher shop, finished his purchase and noticed the dog and watched what happened.
The butcher leaned over the counter and asked the dog what it wanted today. The dog put its paw on the glass case in front of the ground beef, and the butcher asked, "How many pounds?" The dog barked twice, so the butcher made a package of two pounds ground beef.
He then asked, "Anything else?" The dog pointed to the pork chops, and the butcher said, "How many?" This time the dog barked four times, so the butcher made up a package of four pork chops.
The dog then walked around behind the counter, so the butcher could get at the purse. The butcher took out the appropriate amount of money and tied two packages of meat around the dog's neck.
The customer who had been witnessing all of this, decided to follow the dog. It walked for several blocks and then walked up to a house and began to scratch at the door to be let in.
As the owner opened the door, the man said to him, "That's a really smart dog you have there."
The owner replied, "He's not that smart. This is the second time this week he forgot his key."
