Robert sees an ad in the local paper: ?Talking Dog For Sale - $10.00?. On a lark, he calls the owner, Ted, who confirms the dog?s ability and invites Robert to inspect said canine in person. When Robert arrives at the house, Ted tells him he can find the dog in the back yard. ?Feel free to ask him anything you want.? In the yard, Robert finds a 10-year-old male pit bull, sunning himself by his water dish. Feeling silly, Robert says, ?So. You?re a dog that can talk?? To Robert?s utter astonishment, the dog replies, ?Yes. I know it?s unusual, but I?ve been able to understand and speak English since I was a puppy.? ?Have you always lived with Ted?? asked Robert, after recovering his composure. The dog replied, ?Oh, no. As soon as my first master realized I could talk, he mentioned me to his next-door neighbor, a local police officer. Before I knew it, I was working undercover for the department, usually as a pound rescue offered for adoption to known drug dealers. I would stay with a dealer for a few weeks until I had a picture of the whole network, then the cops would raid the operation. I have quite a few rewards for outstanding community service.? ?Wow! That?s quite an adventure for a dog!? ?Well, yes, but it didn?t stop there. At one point, I worked a drug case where cocaine was being shipped across state lines; that got the FBI involved, so pretty soon I was working for them, too. They?d fly me all over the country for undercover jobs. About 3 years ago, the CIA hired me away for huge contract fees to my master, and I worked on extremely important cases in Belgium, Brazil and Eastern Europe. Last year, after receiving a substantial reward payout, I decided I?d had enough travel, hooked up with an awesome poodle, settled down, had a couple of puppies. Now I?ve retired here at Ted?s house.? Robert was awestruck. He excused himself from the conversation and went back into Ted?s house. ?Ted, I apologize if I seemed skeptical about your dog. He?s amazing! How come you?re selling him?? ?Well, I?m getting on in years and will be moving to a seniors community soon; they don?t allow pets.? ?Okay, but why in the world would you sell a talking dog for only $10.00??? ?Because he?s a liar. He never did any of that ****.?
