A man runs into the vet's office carrying his dog, screaming for help.
The vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his
dog down on the examination table.
The vet examines the still, limp body and after a few moments tells
the man that his dog, regrettably, is dead. The man, clearly agitated
and not willing to accept this, demands a second opinion.
The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat and puts
the cat down next to the dog's body. The cat sniffs the body, walks
from head to tail poking and sniffing the dog's body and finally looks
at the vet and meows.
The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks
that your dog is dead, too."
The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead so the vet
brings in a black Labrador Retriever. The Lab sniffs the body, walks
from head to tail, and finally looks at the vet and barks.
The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the Lab thinks
your dog is dead, too."
The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis, thanks the vet and asks
how much he owes. The vet answers, "$650."
"$650 to tell me my dog is dead?" exclaimed the man ...
"Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you $50 for my
initial diagnosis. The additional $600 was for the cat scan and lab
test.
