A guy is bragging to his friend that he has a dog who is so talented he can do anything he is commanded to do. The friend says, “OK let’s try a simple command first,” so he picks up a stick, throws it a distance and commands the dog, “Fetch!” The dog looks up at him for a moment, doesn’t even move and instead begins shouting, “All day long people tell me what to do. Roll over! Jump! Go through the fiery hoop! Good dog. Bad dog. Sit! Heal. Eat this! Don’t eat that! I can’t take it anymore. It’s no fun being a dog. I hate it. I wish I were never born! The fellow interrupts the dog and tells him with a sense of frustration, “All I asked you to do was fetch.”
