Maryland Dog Swallows 3 Carat, $20,000 Diamond

This reads like a scene from a romantic comedy. One of the owners of Robert Bernard Jewelers in Rockville, Maryland followed Sollie the diamond eating dog for three days until the gem "reappeared". His response: "I can understand what it was like in the old Gold Rush. I felt like I had just hit pay dirt."



Have a great weekend!

  29. Great story - Mom says she ought to put herself out for hire as she has been on patrol lately checking out Ciara's output, no diamonds, but lots of loosey goosey.
