If you think dogs playing poker is just the name of an oil painting, Long Island native Rick Caran has a couple of canines he'd like you to meet.

Caran, 68, is the man behind Ruby, a three-pound Yorkie who holds the title of "the world's only poker-playing dog."

The tiny pup travels with Caran around the world, demonstrating her talents to rapt audiences at conferences, birthday parties and luncheons, the New York Daily News reported.

The card-playing trick all began with Jilli, another Yorkie that Caran found on the street near his Huntington, Long Island home nine years ago.
