Today's Extreme K9 is Oscar, the hound-labrador retriever mix!
"Richmond, Virginia
Christine Payne and Greg Strope had a mystery to solve. An email confirmed a $62.50 purchase of 5,000 Xbox points. The problem was they hadn't bought a thing. They searched for clues, and found the game controller on the floor covered with bite marks and dried slobber. Also at the seen was a likely suspect: Oscar, the dog. Turns out Strope had left the tempting controller on the coffee table, and Oscar couldn't resist. He chewed until he turned on the video game and clicked through the screens, accidentally buying points on the system. "He was a puppy, so he would chew through anything he could reach: shoes, clothes, paper," Paine says. In the end, the video game company refunded the money and, just for fun, set up the pooch with his own screen name: Oscar the K9.
