Funny dog in a skirt.

This blind guy is standing on a street corner with his seeing eye dog. The dog lifts his leg and pisses all over the blind guy’s foot. The blind guy reaches down and pats the dog on the head. A man standing next to the blind guy watching all of this says “tell me something buddy, how come you patted that dog on the head after he pissed all over your foot”? Blind guy says “I gotta find his head so I can kick his ass”.
