A dogs story

A butcher watching over his shop is really surprised when he sees a dog
coming inside the shop. He shoos him away. But later, the dog is back
again. So, he goes over to the dog and notices it has a note in its mouth.
He takes the note and it reads "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb,
please". The dog has money in its mouth, as well. The butcher looks inside
and, there is a ten dollar note there. So he takes the money and puts the
sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog's mouth.

The butcher is so impressed, and since it's about closing time, he decides
to shut the shop and follow the dog. So off he goes. The dog is walking
down the street, when it comes to a level crossing; the dog puts down the
bag, jumps up and presses the button. Then it waits patiently, bag in
mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and it 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 as the dog stops a bus by pulling its left leg up and
gets in it. The butcher follows the dog into the bus. Then the dog shows a
ticket which is tied to its belt to the bus conductor. The butcher is
nearly fainting at this sight, so are the other passengers in the bus. The
dog then sits near the driver's seat looking outside waiting for the bus
stop to come. As soon as the stop is in sight, the dog stands and wags its
tail to inform the conductor. Then, without waiting for the bus to stop
completely, it jumps out of the bus and runs to a house very close to the
stop. It opens the big Iron Gate and rushes inside towards the door.

As it approaches the wooden door, the dog suddenly changes its mind and
heads towards the garden. It goes to the window, and beats its 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 surprised with this, 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."

*Moral of the story: You may continue to exceed onlooker's expectations but
shall always fall short of the boss' expectations. It's dog's life after
all.........*
