A pet dog in the north of England has been offered its very own gold credit card with a spending limit of 10,000 pounds
($24,513).

An application form for a Royal Bank of Scotland credit card arrived at the home of Raymond Slater, in greater Manchester, addressed to his Shih-Tzu, Monty.

The dog was offered a gold credit card and the chance to earn air miles.

"We bought the name from a list broker and have no idea why Monty's details were provided," a spokeswoman for the bank said yesterday.

"His name has now been removed from the database and we are sending a hamper to Mr Slater by way of apology," she said.

The Royal Bank of Scotland is one of Britain's biggest issuers of credit cards.
