Hollywood Dog

I have a friend who works in a pet store. A customer came in with his dog and my friend’s workmate said to the customer, “That’s a good looking dog, he should be in the movies. “

Well, as it turned out the dog had been in two pilot’s, a commercial, and had just finished his first movie.

“That’s impressive,” the workmate said. “Where’d you get him?”

“The pound. I fell in love with him the minute I saw him. I tried to adopt him right then and there, but he had a chip in him... pound policy is if a dog has a chip in him, they wait twenty-eight days before they give them up for adoption. I went to the pound every day for the next twenty-six days to check on him. Nobody claimed him after twenty-eight days. He was ready for adoption. I was going to show up early in the morning and bring him home. It was the night before the adoption when the phone rang. It was the pound.

“If you want the dog, you better get here at five in the morning to claim him, we have ten families interested in him.”

“I showed up at five in the morning.”
"What did you name him?"
"His name was Echo, but I changed it to Jake."
