A woman runs into a veterinarian office with her dog in her arms, crying, "Doctor, doctor, help my dog. He's sick."

The doctor lays the dog on the examining table and prods the animal but he doesn't move. He listens for a heart beat but there isn't a sound, "Lady," he says, "Your dog is dead." "Oh, no, no. Your wrong, that can't be," she cries. So the doctor prods some more but there still isn't any movement. "Lady, I'm sorry. There just isn't anything I can do, Your dog is dead. He's gone." "Doctor, you must be wrong. You have to do something," she insists.

He said, "OK." He goes into the back of the office and returns with at big scruffy cat and waves the cat over the dead dog. The dog doesn't move, flinch or budge. Finally, the lady concedes and says "OK, I guess you are right."

He hands her the bill and she screams, "$950???? Why is the bill so high?" "Well," he says, "It is $50 for the examination and $900 for the cat scan."
