Ventriloquist cowboy

[Classact]

While riding the range one day, a ventriloquist cowboy met an Indian
riding along with a dog and a sheep and decided to have some fun with him.

Cowboy: "Hey, nice dog you got there. Mind if I speak to him?"
Indian: "Dog no talk.

Cowboy: "Hey dog, how's it going?
Dog: "Doin' good."
Indian is shocked.
Cowboy: "Is this Indian your owner?"
Dog: "Yep"
Cowboy: "How does he treat you?"
Dog: "Real good. He lets me run free twice a day, feeds me great food,
and takes me to the lake once a week to play."

Indian has a look of total disbelief.
Cowboy: "Mind if I talk to your horse?"
Indian: "Horse no talk."

Cowboy: "Hey horse, how are you?"
Horse: "Good."
Cowboy: "Is this your owner?" indicating the Indian again.
Horse: "Yep"
Cowboy: "How's he treat you?"
Horse: "Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly,
brushes me down often, and keeps me under a tree to protect me from the rain."

Indian stares in utter amazement.
Cowboy: "Mind if I talk to your sheep?"

Indian: "Sheep is liar."
