Someone has been naughty

A few days ago one of my credit cards was canceled, and my account was closed due to "inactivity". Indeed, I had not used that card for nine months, and those in the credit card company probably figured that I did not need it anyway.
That letter kinda reminded me of something that happened to my boss a while ago.

My boss had a lovely pet dog whom the entire family cherished. They loved her so much that they gave her an official name, I mean, the kind of name with first name, middle initial, and the family's last name. That name was also used for registration and medical purposes.
One evening after my boss returned home from work, he found in his mailbox a letter addressed to the dog. What's more amazing is that enclosed was a VISA card bearing the dog's name, and an official notice from the credit card company congratulating the dog on the approval of her application. My boss was so amused that he kept the letter and the card as a souvenir. He suspected that his twenty year old daughter was behind this hideous plot, because it was so easy to pick up a credit card application form in a college bookstore, and fill out all the information about herself, with a mere change of the first name. Of course, his daughter denied such ungrounded accusation.

I did not know whether or not anyone in my boss's family activated that card. If so, they did not need to pay attention to it anyway, because the account was probably going to be closed due to "inactivity".
