A dog, running around town unleashed, heads for a butcher shop and
steals a roast.
The butcher goes to the lawyer's office and asks,
"if a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I
have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?"
The lawyer answers, "Absolutely."
"Then you owe me $8.50.
Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today."
The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for $8.50. The
butcher, having a feeling of satisfaction, leaves.
Three days later, the butcher finds a bill from the lawyer:
$100 due for a consultation.
