A Man with His Dog . . .

The woman rushes into the house and sends her husband out to deal with the man and his dog.
The dog owner is beside himself with worry as the husband approaches, and says, "Sir, how about a settlement. Would twenty-five dollars do?"
The husband pauses for a moment and replies, "Sure, and if you come around next week, it's worth another twenty-five!"
