The parable of the man and the dog (adapted from other old stories) Once upon a time there was a man who studied at a university how to teach dogs to bark. After completing his degree he could not get employment, so he continued with his studies and completed a PhD in his field, and was appointed at his university to train students to teach dogs how to bark. Not many students studied with him.

Then a terrible virus, affecting dogs and causing them to lose their ability to bark, hit the world and caused a worldwide pandemic. Not everybody was equally unhappy—after all, barking dogs can be rather noisy. Rumours, that this virus could be man-made, were heard. The virus spread exponentially and soon few dogs remained that could bark. And the world was quite quiet.
