I think both of these gentlemen have too much time on their hands.

The owner got in his car, caught up with his dog, opened the car door, and asked the dog if he wanted to go for a walk. The eager dog (who loved going for a walk) jumped right in, and the owner took him home immediately. No walk. The owner wanted to know if he was being unethical for lying to the dog. The Ethicist said no, because the word "walk" might have had a different meaning to the dog. He also said it is possible to deceive a dog by pretending to throw the ball, (a particular pet peeve of mine, which I think is unethical). What do you think about both scenarios? **************Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?
