A man brought a very limp dog into the veterinary clinic. As he lay
   the dog on the table, the doctor pulled out his stethoscope, placing
   the receptor on the dog's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook
   his head sadly and said, "I'm sorry, but your dog has passed away.

   "What?" screamed the man. "How can you tell? You haven't done any
   testing on him or anything. I want another opinion!"

   With that, the vet turned and left the room. In a few moments, he
  returned with a Labrador Retriever. The Retriever went right to work,
   checking the poor dead dog out thoroughly with his nose. After a
   considerable amount of sniffing, the Retriever sadly shook his head
   and said, "Bark" (meaning "dead as a doornail").

   The veterinarian then took the Labrador out and returned in a few
   moments with a cat, who also carefully sniffed out the poor dog on
 the   table. As had his predecessors, the cat sadly shook his head and
 said,"Meow"  (meaning "he's history"). He then jumped off the table and
ran
   out of the room.

   The veterinarian handed the man a bill for $600. The dog's owner went
   berserk. "$600! Just to tell me my dog is dead? This is outrageous!"

   The vet shook his head sadly and explained. "If you had taken my word
   for it, the charge would have been $50, but with the Lab work and the
   cat scan..........."
