Dog shopping

He walks up to the meat case and calmly sits there until it's his turn
to be waited on. A man, who was already in the butcher shop, finished
his purchase and noticed the dog. The butcher leaned over the counter
and asked the dog what it wanted today. The dog put its paw on the
glass case in front of the ground beef, and the butcher said, "How many
pounds?"
The dog barked twice, so the butcher made a package of two pounds ground beef.
He then said, "Anything else?"
The dog pointed to the pork chops, and the butcher said, "How many?"
The dog barked four times, and the butcher made up a package of four pork chops.
The dog then walked around behind the counter, so the butcher could
get at the purse. The butcher took out the appropriate amount of money
and tied two packages of meat around the dog's neck. The man, who had
been watching all of this, decided to follow the dog. It walked for
several blocks and then walked up to a house where it began to scratch
the door to be let in. As the owner opened the door, the man said to the
owner, "That's a really smart dog you have there."
The owner said, "He's not really all that smart. This is the second time
this week he forgot his key."
