One day the old German Shepherd starts chasing
 rabbits and before  long, discovers that he's lost.
 Wandering about, he notices a panther 
 heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.
 The old German Shepherd thinks, 'Oh, oh!
 I'm in deep doo-doo now!'  
 Noticing some bones on the ground close by, heimmediately settles down to 
 chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat.
 Just as  the panther is about to leap, the
 old German  Shepherd exclaims loudly, 'Boy, that was one
 delicious panther!i wonder, if there are any more around here?'
 Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in
 mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. 
'Whew!' says the panther, 'That was close! 
 That old German Shepherd nearly had  me!'  
 Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene
 from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and
 trade it for protection  from the panther. So, off he goes, but the
 old German Shepherd sees him heading after the panther
 with great speed, and figures that something must be up.
The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and 
strikes a deal for himself with the panther.
 
 The young panther is furious at being made a fool of
 and says, 'Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what's going to
 happen to that conniving canine!
 Now,the old German Shepherd sees the panther coming with 
 the squirrel on his back and thinks, 'What
 am I going to do now?',  but instead of running, the dog sits down with his
 back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when
 they get close enough to  hear, the old German Shepherd says...
 'Where's that squirrel?       
 I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another panther!
 
 the moral of  this story... 
      
 
 Don't  mess with the old dogs... age and skill will always
 overcome youth and treachery!
