Clever dog learns how to turn on the taps - leaving owner with a big bill

A dog owner has been forced to remove the taps from his sink after his pooch learned hot to use them - and racked up an $100 water bill.

Owner Jacob James, 32, kept finding the tap running in his garage - and thought he was being forgetful.

But when he set up a CCTV camera he caught bloodhound Neyland, one, red-pawed.

The water-loving hound had watched Jacob, and learned how to use his paws to turn the taps, and was hopping up to have a drink whenever he fancied.

But unfortunately he has not learned how to turn the taps off again.

Jacob, from Elizabethton, Tennessee, took the handles off the tap after Neyland racked up a $100 bill.
