A Calgary man has learned the hard way that leaving his gadgets around a one-year-old dog isn\u2019t the most prudent decision.<\/p>\n

Last week, David Murphy, a Calgary resident that works from home, caught his dog lo with his PlayStation controller tucked in her paws, with his worst fears coming true \u2014 she was chewing the controller like it was a chew toy. The incident was reported in a Calgary Eyeopener<\/em> interview,<\/a> via CBC News<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Murphy said that he had only himself to blame for the incident, and returned to work after realizing that the controller wasn\u2019t salvageable. \u201cI go back to my desk and I get these email alerts start popping up,\u201d he said in his Calgary Eyeopener <\/em>interview. \u201c\u2018Thank you for your purchase. Thank you for your purchase.\u2019 And I\u2019m like, oh no. I\u2019ve been hacked.\u201d<\/p>\n

Subsequently, Murphy deactivated his credit card and changed his banking passwords, without realizing that the gnawed-up controller and the charges could be correlated.<\/p>\n

\"\"Upon calling PlayStation about the charges, Murphy was informed that the orders were placed from his console, and, ironically, on a game called Watch Dogs.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when Murphy realized that his dog chewing the PlayStation controller might have had something to do with the charges. \u201cI guess when she was gnawing away at the buttons, she just started purchasing and purchasing,\u201d he said. \u201cI had everything just auto, right? If you just click the X button a number of times, you go right into the store and you\u2019re just ordering stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

PlayStation eventually refunded the purchases.<\/p>\n
