    What is the story here? Man trains his dog to retrieve his cane any time he drops it, but the dog figures this means it can go around town stealing canes from strangers and bring them to its owner to receive a reward for each one?

      Yeah. Perhaps also somewhat of a subverted expectations thing. The dog is portrayed as not even understanding pointing, but as soon as food is involved, it understands the transaction 1 cane = 1 bone very quickly.
