A Canadian man's dog is offered a credit card -- 10 years after she died.
Kelly Sloan, who lives in Sarnia, Ontario, found the letter from Capital One while leafing through his mail last week. It urged "Spark Sloan" to apply for a special credit card offer, The Observer newspaper reported.
Spark, the family dog, died at age 13.
“They’ve got the right name, the right address, and it’s a heck of a deal," Sloan joked to The Observer. "She can apply online today, and I guess, get her card."
Had Spark gotten the card, she likely would have spent some of her new dough on a hula hoop, he said.
When contacted by The Observer, Capital One apologized for their mistake.
“We do comb through to make sure we’re sending them to the appropriate people, but obviously there’s an error here and we apologize,” Capital One representative Laurel Ostfield told the newspaper.
