A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a midwest town he planned to 
visit on his vacation.

He wrote, "I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well 
groomed and very well behaved. Would you be willing to permit me to keep 
him in my room with me at night?"

An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who said, "I've been 
operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I've never had a 
dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the walls. I've 
never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and 
disorderly. and I've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes, 
indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel. And, if your dog will vouch for 
you, you're welcome to stay here, too."
