"Good Dog"

A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwest
town he planned to visit on his vacation.

He wrote: "I would very much like to bring my dog
with me. He is well-groomed and very well behaved.
Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in
my room with me at night?"

An immediate reply came from the hotel owner,
who said, "I've been operating this hotel for many
years. In all that time, I've never had a dog steal
towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the
walls. I've never had to evict a dog in the middle
of the night for being drunk and disorderly. And
I've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes,
indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel. And, if
your dog will vouch for you, you're welcome to
stay here, too."
