Bark, George
George was a dog. His mother was a dog too. George made different sounds, which made his mother take him to the vet/veterinarian. A veterinarian/vet will take an animal's health and temperatures. The vet said "Please bark, George" every single time after George's mother went on very desperate. Which was a reference to when George made strange sounds a dog doesn't say, George's mother tells before it happens, "No, George. A ___ goes "___". A dog goes "arf!" Now bark, George." Good thing George said the right thing. But before it happened, the vet put on his latex gloves and pulled out the animals.
