The Super Smart Dog -Alexis-

One day, a busy butcher notices a dog in his shop and shoos it away. Later, he finds the dog has come back, and the butcher sees that the dog has a note in its mouth, which reads: "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb please." The butcher looks, and to behold, there's a $10 bill in the dog's mouth. So the butcher takes the money, puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, and places the bag in the dog's mouth. The butcher is very impressed, and since it's closing time, he decides to close shop and see where the dog goes.

They walk down the road, and the dog approaches a house. It walks up a path, and drops the groceries on the step. Then it walks back down the path, takes a big run, and throws itself- whap!- against the door. It goes back down the path, takes another big run, and throws itself- whap!- against the door again! There's no answer at the door, so the dog goes back down the path, jumps up on a narrow wall, and walks along the perimeter of the garden. It gets to a window, and bangs its head against it several times. It walks back, jumps off the wall, and waits at the door. The butcher watches as a big guy opens the door and starts yelling at the dog. The butcher runs up and stops the guy. "What are you doing? This dog is a genius. It could be on TV, for Pete's sake!" "Genius, my eye," the man says. "This is the second time this week he's forgotten his key!"
