3 January 2007: Beer is better than ... a dog?

A unemployed German man sold a dog to the owner of a bar to pay for beer.

The dog didn't even belong to him; it was the pet of his 6-year-old step-daughter. He offered to take the dog for a walk, and stopped at a bar where he convinced the owner to buy the 3-year-old Beagle for 40 euros, which he spent quenching his thirst for beer.

Having learned the truth the bar owner returned the dog to its owner.
