The Talking Dog

Selkirk offered to sell a Dalmatian to Maxwell for $10, claiming it was a talking dog. "Please buy me," said the canine. "My owner is mean to me, and he beats me with a whip. And I'm really a good dog. I was in the last war. I won the Distinguished Service Cross and the Purple Heart."
"That Dalmation really does talk" gasped Maxwell, "Why do you want to sell him for only $10?"
"Because," said the dog's owner, "I can't stand a liar."
