While chewing on your socks and snatching that piece of ham off the counter top is bad behavior by your pooch, I don’t think it can get much worse than what happen to DC jewelry shop owners Robert Rosin and George Kaufmann.
According to the Associated Press, a diamond dealer stopped by the pair’s shop last week to show Rosin and Kaufmann a $20,000, three-plus carat rock. Upon presenting the diamond to Rosin and Kaufmann, the dealer mistakenly and clumsily dropped the jewel and it was quickly gobbled up by Soli, Kaufmann’s dog.
After a call to the vet, the only solution was to carefully monitor Soli and sort through all of his doo-doos with a fine tooth comb. Three days later, Kaufmann hit the jackpot and the diamond was back in the dealer’s hands. Question is: Will the final owner ever know the doggy intestinal journey their gem has been on?
