BERLIN - A thirsty German sold his 6-year-old step-daughter's pet beagle to the owner of a bar to pay for beer, the Bild newspaper reported on Friday. The unemployed man offered to take the dog for a walk and then stopped at a bar where he convinced the owner to buy the 3-year-old dog for $53 (40 euros). The man spent the proceeds quenching his thirst for beer. The bar owner has now returned the dog to its owner.

Jerk. He could have at least sold something of his own for his beer.

"He could have at least sold something of his own for his beer."
Sell a dog for a beer and you'll drink for one day - sell a dog for beer-making equipment and you'll drink for a lifetime.

Con artist. No beagle is worth 6 oz of beer.

We lost our beagle to an illness last October. She was priceless.

Perhaps he traded a beagle for a few Great Danes?
