An Admiral retired after 35 years and realized a life-long dream of buying
a bird-hunting estate in Maine. He invited an old friend to visit for a week
of pheasant-shooting. The friend was in awe of the Admiral's new bird dog, "Chief".
The dog could point, flush and retrieve with the very best, and the friend offered
to buy the dog at any price. The Admiral declined, saying that Chief was the
very best bird dog he had ever owned and that he wouldn't part with him at any
price.
A year later the same friend returned for another week of hunting and was surprised
to find the Admiral breaking in a new dog. "What happened to ole Chief?"
he asked.
"Had to shoot him," grumbled the Admiral. "A friend came to hunt
with me and couldn't remember the dog's name. He kept calling him Captain. After
that, all he would do was sit on his ass and bark."
