Bolivia and Paraguay finally realised if they continued fighting, they would someday end up destroying the world.
So they sat down and decided to settle the whole dispute with a dogfight. The negotiators agreed each country would take five years to develop the best fighting dog they could.
The dog that won the fight would earn its country the right to rule the disputed areas. The losing side would have to lay down its arms.
Bolivia found the biggest, meanest Dobermans and Rottweilers in the world. They bred them together and then crossed their offspring with the meanest Siberian wolves.
They selected only the biggest, strongest puppy from each litter, killed all the other puppies, and fed them the best food. They used steroids and trainers in their quest for the perfect killing machine.
After the five years were up, they had a dog that needed iron prison bars on its cage. Only the trainers could handle this beast. When the day of the big fight arrived, Paraguay showed up with a strange animal. It was a nine-foot-long Dachshund. Everyone felt sorry for Paraguay. No one else thought this weird animal stood a chance against the growling beast in the Bolivian camp. The bookies predicted Bolivia would win in less than a minute.
The cages were opened. The Dachshund waddled toward the centre of the ring. The Bolivian dog leapt from his cage and charged the giant wiener-dog. As he got to within an inch of the Paraguay dog, the Dachshund opened its jaws and swallowed the Bolivian beast in one bite. There was nothing left but a small bit of fur from the killer dog’s tail.
Bolivia approached Paraguay, shaking their heads in disbelief. “We do not understand. Our top scientists and breeders worked for five years with the meanest, biggest Dobermans and Rottweilers. They developed a killing machine.”
“Really?” Paraguay replied. “We had our top plastic surgeons working for five years to make an alligator look like a Dachshund.”
