MS refunds dog shopping spree, gives him a controller

A while ago we reported on a dog who accidentally purchased LIVE content while his owner was asleep. Well MS caught wind of this news and have refunded the owner of the dog but also provided the dog with an extra controller and a LIVE subscription.

"I saw you wrote a story on the guy whose dog bought Xbox LIVE points. People spend tens of billions of dollars on their pets every year, but it's pretty unusual for your pet to return the favor (except in love and tail wagging of course ). One lucky pet owner in Richmond, Virginia, though has a pet who really cares. Greg Strope's dog purchased 5,000 Xbox LIVE points while the guy slept. Luckily for Greg, Microsoft is refunding his LIVE points and providing extra for good measure. Plus he will get an extra controller and a LIVE subscription for his dog, Oscar. We also created a gamertag for Oscar so that he doesn't feel left out anymore!

My dog chewed my PS3 and Xbox 360 controller and downloaded loads of stuff on them both, and while she was at it she even bought a load of WiiWare titles so can I have my money back now?

Only residents of Morocco are eligible for such refund.
