A Doggone Funny Joke

Miss Fifi loves a good laugh, provided it allows one to maintain a sense of decorum. This morning, over breakfast, my human dad told our boy the following joke. It's a good one!

~~~

A man sees an ad in the newspaper for a talking dog, so he goes to buy it.
When they get home, he says to the dog,

"Oh, man, I've got so many questions to ask you! I'll start off simple.
How's life as a dog?"

The dog ponders for a moment, then says, "Rough!"

The man blinks, and then tries again. "What's your favorite thing to do?"

Again, the dog thinks about it, and then says, "Bark!"

"You've gotta be kidding me!" he yells, to no one in particular. So he
hustles the dog back into the car and drives across town to the
original owner's house. He marches the dog up the front stairs and
demands his money back. After he drives away, the original owner
says to the dog, "So, what's his problem?"

The dog says, "I don't know, but he asked me a few questions and
I answered them as best as I could."
