The Dog Sitter
My friend was dog-sitting for an elderly couple thinking that all she would have to do is to play with this cute dog. So after an afternoon of watching bad television shows with the dog in the living room, she left to get something to eat. When she came back, she discovered that the dog had died. Yes, it was dead, just lying there on the couch. Panicking, she called the owners and explained everything. Turns out, the dog was elderly and didn’t have many days left in him. The couple wanted her to take the deceased to a vet who can deal with it properly. It was an easy enough task, except you can’t just carry a dead 30 pound dog around in the streets. So, after surveying the apartment, she decided to wheel the dog in a suitcase. Then she had to take the subway uptown with the dead dog in the suitcase. But on the platform, my friend got into a coversation with a fairly attractive, well dressed man. They started to flirt a little and the man offered to help her with the suitcase. But knowing its contents, she declined and guarded the suitcase with care. Instead she explained that it was only some things that she wanted to move into her apartment. As she reached her stop, she said goodbye, but the man also got off saying that it was his stop too. The man again offered to help her carry the suitcase, but she claimed that it wasn’t too heavy. As they reached the top of the staircase on the street, the man suddenly turned to her, punched her in the face, grabbed the suitcase and ran. Now you can imagine how weird it was for her to have to find a dead dog and not only that to be robbed of the dead dog. At some point the man is going to go home, having lugged the suitcase around the city and find a dead dog in the stolen suitcase. Karma, I tell you, karma.
