Talking dog

[Tubatoad]

A man was driving around the back woods of Montana, and saw a
sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house:
"Talking Dog For Sale." He knocked on the door; and the owner
appeared, telling him the dog is in the backyard.

The man walked into the backyard, and saw a nice-looking Labrador
Retriever sitting there.

"You talk?" he asked.
"Yep," the Lab replied.
After the man recovered from the shock of hearing a dog talk,
he said "So, what's your story?

The Lab looked up and said, "Well, I discovered that I could talk
when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I
told the CIA. In no time at all they had me jetting from country
to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders; because
no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping."

"I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running.
But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't
getting any younger, so I decided to settle down. I signed up
for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering
near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some
incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals. I got
married, had a mess of puppies; and now I'm just retired."

The man was amazed. He returned to the owner, and asked what
he wanted for the dog.

"Ten dollars," the owner replied.

"Ten dollars!? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"

"Because he's a liar. He's never been out of the yard."
