Kelley Davis came home to find that her beloved family pet had eaten the $400 of extra money she had earned as a physical therapist.
Davis had initially assumed the money was in her pocket. But when the money was nowhere to be found, suspicions turned to Augie, her 2-year-old Swiss Mountain dog.
Augie apparently thought the money was simply a snack left behind by his beloved owner.
Rather than get mad, Davis simply waited until the next day and took Augie for a walk. Davis was able to recover parts of three $100 bills and five $20 bills after Augie passed them.
Davis washed the money pieces with a garden hose and hopes to have enough pieces to reassemble them. No word whether any bank has deigned to accept the reconstituted currency.
Assurances were given by a North Carolina veterinarian that the consumption of money would have no long-term ill effects on the dog.

Reconstituted currency. Very nice.
She was pretty lucky to be able to recover the money.
Desperate much?
Its only like $400.....
If the value is that much to them, they wouldn't have left it lying around the home anyway, it would have been safer in a bank or purse even.
It would be safer in my hands...
come to think of it.. I haven't held money worth 400$...
not sure it's safe then... XP
As long as you don't look like you are holding something valuable, you're safe. Having said that $400 is no small sum in America too...though it definitely isn't worth what it used to be...god damn US Treasury's printing presses...
That's "only" a month's pay or more for an unimaginable number of people.
only!!!???
If 400$ is an "ONLY" for you, better give me some, even double it!
400 bucks, that's about 9 months of my allowance...
Gives "my dog ate my homework" a whole new meaning.
Damn, by reading the headline I was seriously (and afraid of) thinking of the dog being cut open to "recover" the money... I must be sick.
I think it would be that scenario if it happened in China though...
makes me remember that day. When my dog eat one of my gundam part.
Did you get it back? :p
Did you open up your dog to retrieve the precious Gundam part?
disgusting..
In Britannia we would replace it XD
*Spoken as someone who works in a bank*
All they need to do is recover part of the money, fill out a claims form, we'd test it and then replace it XD
Works the same way in the States - they could have sent the entire (No pun intended.) pile, unsorted, to the Department of the Treasury, where they have an office that does the recovery and reconstitution of money. The Treasury Department would then send back a check after making sure the exact amount.
And yes, they have done it when animals have passed out the cash they ate.
C.T.
loooool. poo money
I first thought that "recovering" would mean "slicing up its stomach to get the money out".
I thought the woman recover by "operating" the dawg
I guess American dollars are worth shit in an all new sense now.
lawl
........Am I the ONLY one who accidentally misread money as monKey...and braced myself for a sob story?
yes.
It's like a Ben Stiller movie!!!
More like American Wedding... Chocolate truffle, anyone?
eew
hahahah reconstituted currency XD nice one!
This made headlines?
Someone ought to reconsider the notion of "man bites dog".
People love such stories - such is "human interest"...
I could absolutely see this in a small town news paper, but national, and international news even!?
Everyone is forgetting the Chinese girl who gets taken for walkies.
Maybe there's a few yuan in her shit as well.
Half of the articles on this site are about breasts.
NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING THANK YOU VERY MUCH :3
The dog was just keeping the money safe.
You never know when a thief come.
Oh recycling in it's greatest form XD
trolling dog.
Haha wth, that must be one hungry dog... it's a miracle he didn't eat anything else.
"No word whether any bank has deigned to accept the reconstituted currency."
i think normally they will acept it, with a price.
nice pic, I had an impression of a "Happily Ever After" story...
Wait why didn't the money digest properly?
when you walk around the dog it pass through the stomache faster due of the excercise and hence it comes out in the fiecies
Oh that explains a lot thanks.
Besides, it's all just fiber, right? :)
