A lawyer's dog, running about unleashed1, beelines for a butcher shop and steals a roast. Butcher goes to lawyer's office and asks, if a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?
The lawyer answers, Absolutely.
Then you owe me $8.50. Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today.
The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for $8.50 Several days later the butcher opens the mail and finds a bill from the lawyer: $20 due for a consultation2.
