Dog in the news

I was searching to see if there was any odd or strange dog news around. I did come up with the story that a dog was supposed to buy 5,000 xbox game points from MicroSoft, or so his owner claims. This story appeared just over a year ago on Fox and then was retold on CNET. The owner claims he was in bed when the mysterious purchase was made. He also claims that he found his dogs saliva all over the xbox controller the next morning. Now here are my questions:

• If the xbox requires a password to purchase points how did the dog know it? Accident maybe?
• Why did he leave his xbox turned on?

It just sounds suspicious to me.
