Beware of the Dog

[Pilgrim22]

Upon entering a small country store, a stranger noticed a sign saying DANGER! BEWARE OF DOG! posted on the glass door. Inside a harmless old hound dog was asleep on the floor besides the cash register.

He asked the store manager, "Is that the dog folks are supposed to beware of?"

"Yep, that's him," he replied.

The amused stranger inquired, "That certainly doesn't look like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that sign?"

The owner responded, "Because, before I posted that sign, people kept tripping over him."

A guy standing on the corner with a dog beside him, was approached by a stranger who walks up and asks .......... "Does your dog bite?"

"No" - the man said,

So the stranger bends down to pet the dog and the dog bites him!

"I thought you said your dog don't bite???" .........the man answers


"That's not my dog!

I read somewhere that the sign "Cave Canem" Beware of the dog in Latin, was used to protect tiny house dogs in Rome from being stepped on. I have the same tiny breed [Italian Greyhounds] and they're pretty good at keeping out of the way.
