Diamonds are a dog's best friend.

An Albany, Georgia pooch seems to have a special attraction to the sparking little gems, or at least a curiosity that got him in a lot of trouble. The dog, lovingly named Honey Bun, consumed close to $10,000 worth of diamonds.

He's a staple of John Ross jewelers, but this appears to be the first time he's dined on the gems. "He's been loved," co-owner Chuck Roberts.

According to the local news station, Roberts got up from his chair to greet a customer when one of the four packs of diamonds (each containing about $10,000 in loose 1-karat diamonds for earrings) on his desk went missing. Upon finding an empty pack on the floor, the shop owner immediately had a suspect.

X-rays later confirmed Honey Bun's guilt. While carbon doesn't show through on an x-ray, two blank spots made him the likely culprit.
