The man sees a very nice looking Irish Setter sitting there.
"Do you really talk?" he asks the dog.
"Yes," the Setter replies.
After recovering from the shock of hearing the dog talk, the man asks, "So, tell me your story."
The Setter looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young.
I wanted to help the government, so I was sold to the Secret Service..
In no time at all they had me travelling from county to county, sitting in rooms with MPs and world leaders, because no one imagined that a dog would be eavesdropping.
I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years".
"But the travelling around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down.
I signed up for a job at Dublin Airport to do some undercover security work, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in.
I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded several medals".
"Then I got married, had a few puppies, and now I've just retired."
The man is amazed. He goes back into the house and asks the owner how much he wants for the dog.
"Ten Euros," Billy says.
"Ten Euros! But your dog is absolutely amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheaply?"
"Because he's a liar... he's never been out of the garden.
