A little girl asked her Mom, 'Mom, may I take the dog for a walk around the block?'

Mom replies, 'No, because she is in heat.'

'What's that mean?' asked the child.

'Go ask your father. I think he's in the garage.'

The little girl goes to the garage and says, 'Dad, may I take Sassy for a walk around the block? I asked Mom, but she said that Sassy is in heat, and to come to you.'

Dad said, 'Bring Sassy over here.'   He took a rag, soaked it with gasoline, and scrubbed the dog's backside with it to disguise the scent, and said 'OK, you can now, but keep Sassy on the leash and only go one time round the block.'

The little girl left and returned a few minutes later with no dog on the leash. Surprised, Dad asked, 'Where's the dog?'

The little girl said, 'She ran out of gas about halfway down the block, so another dog is pushing her home.'
