A shopkeeper watchin over his shop is really surprised when he sees a dog coming inside the shop. He shoos him away. But later, the is back inside again. So he goes over to the dog and notices that it has a note in its mouth. He takes the note and it reads “Can I have 12 soaps and a shampoo bottle, please. The money is with the dog.” The shopkeeper looks inside the dogs mouth and to his surprise there is a 100 Rupee note in his mouth. So he takes the money and puts the soap, shampoo and change in a bag, and then places it in the dogs mouth.

The shopkeeper  is so impressed, and since it is the closing time, he decides to follow the dog. The dog is walking down the street, when it comes to the zebra crossing, he waits till the signal turns green. He walks across the road till the bus stop. He waits  on the stop and looks up the timetable for the bus. The shoekeeper is totally out of his mind as the dog gets into the bus and sit on a vacant seat. The shopkeeper follows the dog. The dog waits for the conductor to come to his seat. He gives change to the conductor and show him the neck belt to keep the ticket. The shopkeeper is almost fainting at this sight and so are the other people in the bus.

The dog then moves to the front exits of the doors and waits for the bus stop to arrive, looking outside. As soon as the stop is in sight the wags his tail to inform the driver to stop. Then not even waiting for bus stop to arrive the dog jumps out and to the house nearby. It opens a big iron gate and rushes towards the garden. The dog walks up to the window and beats his head several times on the window. It then walks back to the door and waits. The shopkeeper maintaining his senses walks up to the door and watches the big guy open the door.

The guy starts beating, kicking and abusing the dog. The shopkeeper is surprised and runs to stop the guy “What in the heaven are you doing? The dog is a genius he could be a famous in life.” The guy responds “You call this clever? This is 3rd time in this week that the dog has forgotten the door keys.”

MORAL OF THE STORY: you may continue to exceed onlookers expectations…. But will always fall short of the BOSSES Expectation…….

Yes, This is what most boss used to be like now a days. But also there are some bosses like mine is present who are totally opposite to this article. 

Still a Nice way to explain the behaviour of Boss towards his downline.

Thanks for Posting

Hi Paresh,
How confident you are, that you will always remain employee and never become boss.
Anyway, it is good.....

Shows your negative attitude towards bosses. The dog may have amazed and wowed onlookers but did not perform to his bosses expectations by  forgetting the keys 3 times in a row. 

Bosses are not bad, mean people. Just people like you and me. And if the boss writes your pay check you live up to his expectations, not the onlookers expectations. Onlookers are not writing your pay check.

Bosses can be barbaric!! Just to attain that level of SMOOTH functioning, he would go to ny lengths to GET IT RIGHT! I do not approve of him BEATING the DOG (read : Employee) simply because people working under a leader (read : BOSS) are not DOGS!! 

Though it serves the purpose very nicely of conveying the final moral, I am quite disturbed with the fact that whoever has written has a very LOW OPINION of TEAM members adn not the right attitude for LEADING from the front!!

Not taking anything away from your reasoning Paresh, just a little touchy about animals and attitude shown by BOSSES! Its a really interesting article and I liked the title too :)
Thanks for teh referral!
