Man’s Best Friend

Now I’m not an advocate of revenge, but I can appreciate a
cleverly conceived retaliation.

When we first moved into our neighborhood, my husband and I
observed a large dog, not unlike ol’ yeller, walk up into our
neighbors’ yard across the street. He proceeded to efficiently
evacuate his bowels, then proudly walk back from whence he came.
Generally, this would not be anything to write home about, but
this continued day after day after day. This led us to believe
that the dog was trained to do this. If so, why and how? Well
now, since I really don’t know, you will be forced to endure my
vivid imagination.

Our neighbor across the street is a doctor, so I picture a
botched hemorrhoid operation, followed by a meager and dribbled
out cash settlement. Not satisfied, our victim plots his
revenge. Turning to the ever faithful family pet, he trains him
months – years, perhaps. Under dark of night, he plants doggie
treats from dog house to doc’s house, until finally the
culmination of this ingenious revenge. To this very day, every
twenty-four hours this loyal dog does his business and away he
goes.

If you ask me, the doctor has had the last laugh… his roses
look fantastic!
