Before Karl can answer, the veterinarian appears, and says, "Ah, a bloodhound! You know my son Brad trains bloodhounds. His big bloodhound Blue is the best hunting dog in these parts, and Brad trains the bloodhounds under Blue as their pack leader. He's helping out at the clinic today if you want to have - what's your dog's name, Karl?"
Without thinking Karl answers, "Chad..."
"Chad. Good name for a hunting dog. Max, Rex, Bing, and Chad. Short one syllable names are best for hunting dogs. While you fill out the paperwork, I'll start with the examination, then Brad will take measurements, and samples. Oh, did you decide whether or not to neuter him? If he's a purebred, we can evaluate him for breeding. If he is a mutt, probably best to neuter him. Come boy, come, Chad."
Chad's father grabbed the leash from Karl and led the bloodhound that in reality was his own son transformed by nanobots into a dog.
