THE RETRIEVER

A POLICE OFFICER OCCASIONALLY PARKS HIS CRUISER

IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS TO WATCH FOR SPEEDERS.

ONE SUNDAY MORNING HE WAS STAKED OUT IN A DRIVEWAY,

WHEN A LARGE DOG TROTTED UP TO HIS CAR.

HE STOPPED AND SAT JUST OUT OF ARM’S REACH.

NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE POLICE OFFICER TRIED

TO COAX HIM TO COME FOR A PAT ON THE HEAD,

HE REFUSED TO BUDGE.

AFTER A WHILE HE DECIDED TO MOVE TO ANOTHER LOCATION.

HE PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY,

LOOKED BACK AND LEARNED THE REASON FOR THE DOG’S STUBBORNNESS.

HE QUICKLY PICKED UP THE NEWSPAPER

THE POLICE OFFICER HAD BEEN PARKED ON AND

DUTIFULLY RAN BACK TO HIS MASTER.
