OK, maybe ‘rob’ is a bit strong, in fact lies, damn lies, but these smart pooches have been trained to operate ATMs and, since I've seen Babe, I also know they can all speak too so the plot is thickening and Animal Revolution Day is closer than we think. Or, they could be just smart dogs trained to help their disabled owners get cash out.
Trained by charity Canine Partners, which trains around 30 dogs a year, the money mutts can insert and withdraw the cards and receipts for wheelchair users, who often can’t reach the slot themselves.
Thankfully, the dogs haven’t yet figured out how to enter the PIN numbers or that there is a direct link between cash and unlimited amounts of Pedigree Chum. Great photo though.-Martin Lynch
