The Stupid Dog
On a sunny Sunday morning, Sairaj's heart was filled with excitement as he anticipated his upcoming vacation. Tonight, he would embark on a journey to his most cherished destination. Before his departure, he made a stop at the supermarket. As he pushed his shopping cart, his eyes wandered over the list of items given to him by his wife. Lost in his thoughts, he accidentally collided with another cart.
"Oops, sorry!" Sairaj blurted out, but there was no one there to respond. Surprisingly, it was a dog who had been pushing the other cart, carefully selecting a variety of things along the way. Intrigued, Sairaj decided to follow the furry fellow, observing its every move from aisle to aisle. The dog skillfully picked up fruits, chocolates, bread, pasta, and filled its cart to full. It then went to the cashier and paid using a few dollar bills. The cashier seemed unsurprised, indicating that they were familiar with the dog's shopping routine. However, when the cashier made a ten-dollar error in giving change, the dog barked and tugged at his leg until he rectified the mistake.
Sairaj's amazement grew, and he couldn't help but wonder about the owner of this intelligent dog. He discreetly followed him all the way to its home on the twelfth floor of an apartment building. The dog confidently pressed the correct floor button in the elevator and reached its residence, which had recently been repainted. It dropped the shopping bags and began scratching at the door, making a pleading sound to get its owner's attention. After a moment, the door opened, and without even sparing a glance at the dog, the owner started shouting at it.
"You are useless, good-for-nothing animal!"
Both the dog and its owner entered the home, shutting the door behind them. Sairaj's surprise knew no bounds. Did the dog's owner truly speak to it in such a way? Fueled by curiosity, he knocked on the door multiple times, eager to find answers. The door creaked open, and the owner, in a rather impolite tone, asked, "Yes?"
"Excuse me, sir," Sairaj politely inquired. "I couldn't help but notice that your dog accomplished an incredible shopping feat, obtaining the correct change from the cashier and even finding its way back home flawlessly. It's truly remarkable! May I ask why you shouted at him? What could be the reason?"
"Yes, all of that is routine for him," the owner replied curtly. "But this is the second time he has forgotten the keys to the house. It's quite pathetic! I had to get up and open the door myself!"
