A Georgia jeweler’s dog enjoys a snack, of $10,000 worth of diamonds. Oops. When the owner of the jewelry shop assisted customers, his dog Honey Bun would jump up on the counter and woof down a diamondy lunch. After an X-ray, it was discovered that Honey Bun was the culprit. Jennifer Emert of WSMV-TV reports:
“Honey Bun often walks the counters at John Ross Jewelers. He’s not much of a guard dog, but he is great with customer relations. Customers sometimes hide treats in their purse for Honey Bun, but the Roberts’ recently learned this pampered pooch has more expensive taste. It happened two weeks ago when a customer came in. “A customer came in and I jumped up out of my chair and came out here to wait on him. And I left the chair where you could jump up on my chair and jump up on my desk,” said co-owner Chuck Roberts. On the desk: four packs of loose diamonds, about a carat each to set in diamond earrings, pens, and dog treats. When he returned, only three packs remained, and an empty pouch was lying on the floor. “Looked all over and there weren’t no diamonds, so immediately, I knew he’d eaten them,” said Roberts.” – read more
