Heard on the radio

This was a funny one I overheard today, heading back into HPN.

Some guy checks in with NY Approach. The controller says, "It says here
in the remarks that you've got a dog aboard".

Aircraft: That's right

ATC: Why would I want to know that?

Aircraft: It means I can't handle a descent faster than 1000 fpm.

ATC: Oh, OK.

It doesn't look very funny written down, but it was pretty humorous on
the air.
