Robert Bernard Jewelry store witnessed an embezzlement of $20,000 . No, there were no guns involved, no masqueraded burglars, no extortion, it was the owner’s dog who supped the gemstone brought in by a diamond dealer. The sad looking dog in the picture is the owner George Kaufman’s dog Solis, who was accused of the embezzlement.

The golden retriever was brought to the store by the store’s part owner, George Kaufman, who had stopped by to check the fresh stock of diamonds brought in by a dealer. During the kerfuffle a three-carat diamond tumbled on the floor, lured by the superfluous sparkle of the diamond, Soli gobbled the precious stone considering it to be a candy.

By the time they tried to pull it out, the inevitable had already happened, Soli had swallowed its most expensive snack. The store owners, Robert Rosin and George Kaufman, were shocked and were left with no words. They immediately took the dog to the vet, but even he couldn’t be of much help, he asked them to wait for the dog to evacuate his bowels. Yea, you got it right, they had to keep a strict vigil on the dog’s poop until three days, and on the third day they found the diamond in the rough!
