Koirat tomaatilla

Hmm, nyt kun vielä oppisivat hommaamaan sinne tilille rahaa mitä nostaa

They might not be able to help if
you forget your Pin, but these dogs
can get your money out without
paws-ing for thought.

Dogs at cashpoint


The pooches are among an army of
'assistance dogs' who have been
trained to withdraw money from cash
machines for their disabled owners.


They are adept at inserting and
withdrawing cards at ATMs to help
owners in wheelchairs who are often
not able to stretch far enough to do it
themselves.


A spokesman for charity Canine
Partners, which trains the dogs, said:
'They put in the card and take it out
and take out the
money and give it
to the person in the
wheelchair.


'They can't put
in the Pin but a
person in a wheelchair can go sideways
on and do that.'
