MARYLAND (Commodity Online): Diamonds are even dog’s best friend! In a recent incident, a rescue dog in a Maryland jewelry store swallowed a $20,000 diamond when owner of the stone dropped it by mistake.

Owners of the store said the diamond dropped in the shop by a dealer was immediately snatched up and swallowed by their dog.

Robert Rosin, one of the owners of Robert Bernard Jewelry Store in Rockville, said a diamond dealer brought the three-plus carat rock to the store to show the owners and dropped the valuable gem on the floor in front of Soli, a rescue dog owned by George Kaufmann, another owner of the store.

“Twenty thousand dollars — that is all I could think about,” Rosin said.

Kaufmann said a vet told him the best way to get the diamond out of Soli’s belly was to wait for it to pass by natural means. “It was not that pleasant,” Kaufmann said. “I followed him; I had to pick up his stuff; I had to go through the things. I can understand what it was like in the old Gold Rush. I felt like I had just hit pay dirt.” He said the diamond came out after three days and was returned to the dealer.

“It was a happy ending to say the least,” Kaufmann said.

“Soli loves to come to work with me and lay around and sleep when he is not greeting customers. He is a great dog,” Kaufmann added.
