    My uncle has a story: dog was getting old and sick, his wife asked him to have it put down. Now Bruce was an old farmer, had put down plenty of animals for food and disease. So he’s going to shoot the dog. Wife won’t have that, dog is a member of the family.

    So a few days later, vet is at the farm to do a C-section on a cow that won’t calve. Wife says “well, get him to put down the dog while he’s here”. Bruce tells her he’ll ask the vet. Vet says sure, but he doesn’t have anything with him to do it with, asks Bruce for his rifle and shoots the dog.

    Wife hears the shot and thinks Bruce did it and lied about asking the vet, so he doesn’t hear the end of it for a week.
