Multi-Talented Mutt

A man saw a sign in a yard that read: Talking Dog for Sale. Intrigued, he rang the bell. The owner told him the dog was in the backyard. The man walked back and saw a black Labrador sitting on a lawn chair.

"You talk?" the man asked, rubbing his eyes.

"Yep," the Lab replied casually.

The man was floored. "So, what's your story?"

The Lab looked up and sighed. "Well, I discovered my gift when I was a pup. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA. In no time, I was jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders because no one suspected a dog would be eavesdropping. I was their most valuable spy for eight years. But the travel tired me out, so I settled down at the airport doing undercover security—wandering near suspicious characters and listening to their secrets. I uncovered ten major smuggling rings! I eventually got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I’m just retired."

The man was absolutely amazed. He rushed back inside and asked the owner how much he wanted for the dog.

"Ten dollars," the owner said.

"Ten dollars?!" the man exclaimed. "This dog is amazing! He's a national hero! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"

The owner rolled his eyes. "Because he’s a big fat liar. He didn't do any of that."
