Teaching an old dog new tricks can be difficult. If, however, you are able to teach your old dog a new trick that could make both of you very rich in the long run, then you are the winner. 

This border collie (who is adorably named Biscuit) learned very quickly that following one instruction from his owner would get him a great reward. And instructions are usually mundane things - sit, heel, fetch. But this was a different level of fetch altogether: the dog's owner asked him to "fetch" a large bill out of his wife's bag.

Knowing that if he or the dog were to be caught there would be big trouble, the dog's owner whispers, "Go an get it out of mommy's purse." 

The dog, as if he is also fully aware of the consequences of his actions, hesitates for a moment and looks to see if the owner of the bag is in the vicinity before picking up the $100 bill and bringing it over.

He managed to take the money out of the bag and got praised by his owner for it. With this kind of positive reinforcement, this border collie could be trained to take much more out of people's bags. 

You've heard of K-9 dogs being used to catch the bad guys, but what if this is proof that dogs can also be the bad guys?
