Working Dog

"Dog Spotted On Truck"*

*A nursery school teacher was delivering a station
wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck
zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire
truck was a Dalmatian dog.

The children fell to discussing the dog's duties.

"They use him to keep crowds back," said one youngster.

"No," said another, "he's just for good luck."

Then a third child brought the argument to a close...

"They use the dog," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrant."

"Working Dog"*

*A salesman dropped in to see a business customer.
Not a soul was in the office except a big dog emptying
wastebaskets. The salesman stared at the animal,
wondering if his imagination could be playing tricks on him.

The dog looked up and said, 'Don't be surprised. This is
just part of my job.'

'Incredible!' exclaimed the man. 'I can't believe it! Does
your boss know what a prize he has in you? An animal that can talk!'

'No, no,' pleaded the dog. 'Please don't! If that man finds
out I can talk, he'll make me answer the phone as well!'
