A ventriloquist cowboy walked into town and saw a rancher sitting on
his porch with his dog:

Cowboy: Hey, cool dog. Mind if I speak to him?
Rancher: Dawgs cain't talk.
Cowboy: Hey dog, how's it going?
Dog: Doin alright.
Rancher: (Extreme look of shock)
Cowboy: Is this your owner? (pointing at rancher)
Dog: Yep.
Cowboy: How's he treat you?
Dog: Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great
food,
and takes me to the lake once a week to play.
Rancher: (Look of disbelief)
Cowboy: Mind if I talk to your horse?
Rancher: Horses cain't talk!
Cowboy: Hey horse, how's it goin?
Horse: Cool.
Rancher: (an even wilder look of shock)
Cowboy: Is this your owner? (pointing at rancher)
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 in the barn to
protect me from the elements.
Rancher: (total look of amazement)
Cowboy: Mind if I talk to your sheep?
Rancher: (gesticulating wildly, and hardly able to talk)
Them sheep ain't nothin but liars!!!
