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.

makes me remember that day. When my dog eat one of my gundam part.
Did you open up your dog to retrieve the precious Gundam part?
Did you get it back? :p
disgusting..
loooool. poo money
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.

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…
