Bob Ringling of Circus fame was driving around Dublin when he sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog For Sale."

 

Not to miss a chance for a new act but at the same time dubious of course, he rings the bell and the surprisingly uninterested owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. Ringling goes around into the backyard and sees a Labrador sitting there.

 

Walks once around the dog who eyes him back, "You talk?" he jokingly asks and to his shock the Lab says "Yes, quite well". Ringling is no fool, has been around the business for 60 years and thoroughly checks the dog out from end to end looking for the gag but can't find one and is amazed the Lab's throat actually vibrates when he talks.

 

Having no other explanation Ringling asks; "So, what's the story?"

 

The Labrador looks up and says: "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the Garda about my gift, and 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 ten years running."

 

The Lab sighs and lays down.

 

"But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I then signed up for a job at Dublin 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. Later on I got married, had a load of puppies, and now I'm just retired."

 

Ringling is truly dumbfounded and is amazed. He rings his Brothers immediately and explains the situation and they quickly agree that a fortune is to be made but put a ceiling cap of $5 million for the negotiations.

 

Ringling goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

 

"A Tenner," the man says.

 

"A Tenner? Are you crazy? Why this dog is the most amazing thing I have seen in my life, why on Earth would you sell him so cheap?"

 

"Because he's a liar. Been in that backyard all his life and never did any of that crap and I'm sick of listening to it."
