A lawyer's dog, running around unleashed, beelines 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."
The butcher says, "Then you owe me $12.50. Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today." The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for $12.50.
Two days later, butcher opens the mail and finds an envelope from the lawyer. Inside is a note that reads: "$200 due for legal consultation."
