Police Dog
Published Jan 01, 1900
The ad in the local newspaper read: "Purebred Police Dog $25." Thinking that to be a great bargain, Mrs. Freeman ordered the dog to be delivered. The next day a van pulled up and left her the mangiest-looking mongrel she had ever seen. In a rage, she telephoned the man who had placed the ad. "What do you mean by calling that mangy-mutt a purebred police dog?" "Don't be deceived by his looks, Ma'am," he replied. "He's in the Secret Service."
