An Admiral retired after 35 years and realized a life-long dream of buying a Duck-hunting estate in Maine. He invited an old friend to visit for a week of Duck hunting. The friend was in awe of the Admiral's new retriever, "Chief". The dog could retrieve with the very best, and the friend offered to buy the dog at any price. The Admiral declined, saying that Chief was the very best retriever he had ever owned and that he wouldn't part with him at any price.
A year later the same friend returned for another week of hunting and was surprised to find the Admiral breaking in a new dog. "What happened to ole Chief?" he asked.
"Had to shoot him," grumbled the Admiral. "Some marines came to hunt with me and couldn't remember the dog's name. They kept calling him Sarg’. After that, all he would do was sit on his a$$ and bark."
