Once upon a time, in the city of far far away, there was a Mr. Smith who hired the Mastiff dog as a personal assistant. The dog was no ordinary, he was extra ordinary, he used to help Mr. Smith with all his household work. If Mr, Smith asked him to bring something from the market, he would go and do it quicker than anyone. He often used to him to the town to bring home items.
He saw the note and it read "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please. The dog has money in his mouth, as well". The butcher looked inside and, behold, a ten dollar note. So he took the money and put the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog's mouth.
The butcher was so impressed, and since it's about closing time, he decided to shut up the shop and follow the dog. So off he goes.The dog is walking down the street when he comes to a level crossing. The dog puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the button.Then he waits patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and he walks across the road, with the butcher following him all the way.
The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking at the timetable. The butcher is in awe at
this stage. The dog checks out the times, and then sits on one of the seats provided. Along comes a bus. The dog walks around to the front, looks at the number, and goes back to
his seat. Another bus comes. Again the dog goes and looks at the number, notices it's the
right bus, and climbs on.
The butcher, by now, open-mouthed, follows him onto the bus. The bus travels through the
town and out into the suburbs, the dog looking and enjoying the outside scenery. Eventually he gets up, and moves to the front of the bus. He stands on 2 back paws and
pushes the button to stop the bus. Then he gets off, his groceries still in his mouth. Well, dog and butcher are walking along the road, and then the dog turns into a house.
He walks up the path, and drops the groceries on the step. Then he walks back down the path, takes a big run, and throws himself against the door. He goes back down the path, runs up to the door and again, it throws himself against it. There's no answer at the house, so the dog goes back down the path, jumps up on a narrow wall, and walks along the perimeter of the garden. He gets to the window, and beats his head against it several times, walks back, jumps off, and waits at the door.
The butcher watches as a big guy opens the door, and starts abusing the dog, kicking him and
punching him, and swearing at him. The butcher runs up, and stops the guy. "What in heaven's name are you doing? The dog is a genius. He could be on TV, for the life of me!" to which the guy responds, "You call this clever? This is the second time this week that this stupid dog's forgotten his
key."
