A women was leaving a cafe with her morning coffee when she noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery.

A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50 feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary woman walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind her, a short distance back, were about 100 women walking single file.

The women couldn't stand her curiosity. She respectfully approached the women walking the dog and said, “I am so sorry for your loss, and I know now is a bad time for you, but I’ve never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?

“My husband’s.”
“What happened to him?”
The women replied, “My dog attacked and killed him.”
She inquired further, “Well, who is in the second hearse?”
The women answered “My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her.”
A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two woman.
“Can I borrow this dog?”
“Get in line.”
