Thanks to Chris Snuggs.
Having had the internet service down for three days, I’m offering you this lovely dog story as a quick post for today.
The Jobseeker
A local business looking for office help put a sign in the window saying: “HELP WANTED. Must be able to type, must be good with a computer and must be bilingual. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.”
One day a dog trotted up to the window, saw the sign and went inside. He looked at the receptionist and wagged his tail, then walked over to the sign, looked at it and whined. Sensing the dog’s idea, the receptionist fetched the office manager. The office manager looked at the dog and was surprised, to say the least. However, since the dog looked determined, he led him into the office.
Once in the office, the dog jumped up and sat on the chair staring at the manager. The manager said, “I can’t hire you. You have to be able to type.”
The dog jumped down from the chair, went across to a typewriter and typed out a letter. He took out the page and trotted over to the manager, gave the letter to him and then jumped back on the chair. The letter was typed perfectly; the manager was stunned. He then turned to the dog and said, “The sign says you have to be good with a computer.”
The dog again jumped down and went to a computer. He demonstrated his expertise with various programs, producing a sample spreadsheet and database which he presented to the manager.
The manager was totally dumbfounded! He looked at the dog and said, “I realize that you are a very intelligent dog and have some interesting abilities. However, I still can’t give you the job.”
The dog jumped down and went to the sign in the window. He put his paw on the part about being an Equal Opportunity Employer.
“Yes,” the manager said, “but the sign also says that you have to be bilingual.”
The dog looked him straight in the face, and said, “Meeow.“
Learning from Dogs 
Very funny ! If the dog can type and is bilingual, people will run as fast as they can because people will think must be some demons inside the dog !

You do me such a favour by not only leaving a comment but by your decision to follow Learning from Dogs. Why do I say this? Because the world coming at us is much more in the hands of people at your stage in life than yours truly who can’t believe he will be 70 next year. 😦
So I do hope you enjoy this Blog and please do leave your thoughts whenever you want. Indeed, how about a guest post?

Heya Paul,
I found you through your comment on Alex’s blog so I do owe him a thank you too for introducing me to such a wonderful blog as yours!
And old people are much cooler, like I can say more wise, more experienced and more mature! They can go crazy without getting accused and their life can be fun if they want! Instead age is god damn it number, it is we who have to decide how to make the most of our time (I know you know all of this but just reminding you see, I am good at it lol)
Anyway, I’d love to read more of your posts and I’d love to do a guest post but given that I don’t have much knowledge about dogs but I can always try if you wish so!
Have a good night,
-Naima.

As you see more LfD posts cross your screen you will come to despise that frequently the link to dogs is obscure. So do think about a post if that rocks your boat.
Thanks for the reminder that the contact was made via Alex’s great Blog.
