Murphy is stood outside his house when he spots Paddy walking down the street with a strange animal by his side.
"What's that weird looking creature you have there?" he asks.
"Oooohhh," replies Paddy, "this is the fiercest dog in Ireland - it's called a long-nosed, short-legged, long-tailed Irish attack dog."
"We'll see about that! I have a Rottweiler, a Doberman and a Pit Bull Terrier in the back yard - let's put this long-nosed, short-legged, long-tailed Irish attack dog of yours to the test," Murphy laughs.
"I'll bet you £100 that my dog can beat all three of them at the same time," says Paddy proudly.
So they shake on the bet and go to the back yard where the Rottweiller, Doberman and Pit Bull are growling and barking.
Murphy opens the gate and the long-nosed, short-legged, long-tailed Irish attack dog walks in.
After a few seconds, fur is flying and the dogs are screaming, then silence......
They look into the yard to see the long-nosed, short-legged, long-tailed Irish attack dog stood alone with no trace of the other three dogs apart from some blood and fur around its mouth.
"Well, you were right, Paddy," says Murphy as he's handing over the £100. "What did you say it was called again? A long-nosed, short-legged, long-tailed Irish attack dog?"
"Yup," replies Paddy, "but in other parts of the world they call it a crocodile!"
