Timothy
O'Rourke was walking his Irish
Setter in the country side. He picked up
a
stick and threw it, the Dog
retrieved it and brought it back. Tim then threw
it in a
different direction and the Dog
once again and retrieved it and brought it back.
Tim
then threw the stick in another direction and it landed in a small
lake. The Dog
went
down to the water's edge, walked
across the
water, picked up the stick and brought it
back.
Needless to say, Tim
was Astounded! He couldn't
believe what he had seen and threw
stick in the lake again, and the Dog
once again walked across the water
to bring
the
stick back. As he went into town, he promised that he would show
his Dog's Amazing
Ability to the first person
he came across.
Once back in town the
first
person he came across was the town-drunk, Declan
Dunphy. Tim dragged Declan to the lake to show him what his Dog could do. Once
again, the Tim threw the stick into the small lake and the Dog went to the water's
edge, walked across the water, picked up
the stick and brought it back.
Upon seeing this,
Declan turned to the Tim and matter-o'-factly said; "Why that's
great, laddie, but when are you going to teach
your Dog how to swim?!!!"

A man went to visit a friend and was
amazed to find him playing chess with his
Dog. He watched the
game for a while in utter astonishment. "I can hardly
believe
my eyes!" he exclaimed.
"That's the smartest Dog I've
ever seen."
"Nah, he's not
so smart," the friend replied. "I've beaten him three games out of
five!"
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.
The children fell into
discussing the Dog's duties.
"They use him to keep
crowds back," said one youngster.
"No," said another,
"he's just for good luck."
A third child brought
the argument to a close. When she said firmly,"They use
the Dog to find the Fire Hydrant!"
