Bad joke teller

The other day someone was telling me a joke that she had gotten as an email. It went something like this:
A guy's breaking into a house and he hears "Jesus is watching." So he looks around and there's a parrot and the parrot says "Jesus is watching." So then, well, long story short, the dog's name was Jesus and it was a Rottweiler.

Now I'm no master joke teller but I'm sure this is not how you tell a joke. But by the punchline I think I'm happy it was shortened.
