A man is just walking into town when he sees a dog with a bag go past. He watches as the dog walks into the butcher's and barks at the butcher. When the butcher turns around, the dog gets a note and drops it on the counter. The butcher looks at the note, nods and gets a few steaks. The dog drops some coins on the counter as the butcher puts the steaks in the dog's bag. The butcher gets some change and puts it on the counter. The man watches in amazement as the dog barks at the butcher, not stopping until the butcher gives in and gives the dog the correct amount of change. Facinated, the man follows the dog as it takes the bag and the change and walks back across town. The man stops and watches as the dog comes to a road and looks both ways carefully before crossing. The dog walks up a garden path to a house and knocks on the door. An angry looking man opens the door, takes the shopping and proceeds to kick the dog around the garden.
The man, outraged, runs across the road and shouts:
'What are you doing man? That dog carries your bags, does your shopping and checks your change!'
'Yes, but that's the third time he's forgotten his keys!'
