Poker Dog Joke (repost)

A man walks into a bar and notices a poker game at a far table. Upon looking closer, he notices a dog seated at the table. Curious, he walks over for a closer looks and sees the dog has cards and chips in front of him.  

Oddly, none of the players seem to pay him any mind. The dog was treated like one of the guys. 

Finally, the man could not contain his curiosity any longer, so between hands he leans over and whispers to one of the guys,  

“That dog has got to be one of the smartest dogs in the world! He is really playing poker!” 

The player smiled and said, “He’s not that smart, everytime he gets a good hand, he wags his tail.” 

The nest hand is dealt to the dog, just like everyone else.
