Diamonds Aren't a Dog's Best Friend

Is there a better way to show your dog how much you love them than giving them a ridiculously expensive dog collar?

Well, probably, yes. Dogs don't much care what kind of collar they wear, and most of them would probably prefer not to wear any collar at all. But that hasn't stopped a company called I Love Dogs Diamonds from providing collars worth far more than most purebreds.

Take this little number, for instance:

Called the "Amour, Amour," or, as one observer notes, "the Bugatti of dog collars," this 52-carat diamond dog collar will only set you back $3.2 million, and it will probably chafe your dog's neck. No word on whether you can get a choke collar version.

"The luster of platinum showcases the diamonds' radiance," says the website, "while 18-karat white gold provides the strength for this precious piece to last a lifetime. Exotic crocodile leather provides comfort and durability for the pampered pooch with the privilege to wear this exclusive collar."

Yeah, okay.

Surprisingly, they don't have an online ordering system to get this monstrosity. If you want one, you can call them at (310) 539-7400 or toll-free at (888) 456-8966. That's (888) ILOVWOOF.

My guess is that if you can afford a multimillion-dollar dog collar, you're not really worried about a toll-free telephone call.
