Meet Chester Ludlow. The 8-year-old pug got a college degree without even cracking open a book.

His owner, Vicky Phillips, of Westford, runs GetEducated.com -- a consumer advocacy group. She wanted to prove just how easy it is get a college degree, so she sent a fake resume and $499 check to Rochville University.

Three weeks later Chester had his degree, two sets of transcripts, and even a window decal for his car-- never mind the fact he'll never drive.

"We were very proud of him when the package came," Phillips said. "We had a graduation party. We got him a cap and gown."
