A man walks into shul with a dog. The shammas (ritual custodian) comes up to him and says, "Pardon me sir, but this is a House of Worship, you can't bring your dog in here!"
"What do you mean?" says the man. "This is a Jewish dog. Look."
The shammas looks carefully and sees that in the same way that a St. Bernard carries a brandy barrel around its neck this dog has a tallis bag (prayer shawl) around its neck.
"Rover," says the man, "kipah!"
"Woof!" says the dog, stands on his hind legs, opens the tallis bag, takes out a kipah and puts it on his head.
"Rover," says the man, "tallis!"
"Woof!" says the dog, stands on his hind legs, opens the tallis bag, takes out a tallis and puts it around his neck.
"Rover," says the man, "daven!"
"Woof!" says the dog, stands on his hind legs, opens the tallis bag, takes out a prayer book and starts to pray.
"That's fantastic," says the shammas, "absolutely incredible! You should take him to Hollywood. Get him on television, get him in the movies, he could make you millions!!
"You talk to him," says the man, "he wants to be a doctor."
