A Pennsylvania couple did the unthinkable in order to retrieve their funds after their dog ate about $4,000 of their cash. The couple rummaged through vomit and poop to salvage some of it.
Clayton and Carrie Law, the owners of Cecil, a seven-year-old Goldendoodle, said Cecil ate the $50 and $100 bills they had put on the kitchen counter of their Pittsburgh home.
The couple withdrew the funds from their savings account for a fence installation, the Washington Post reported.
“This dog, I swear to God, has never touched anything in his life,” Carrie told the Pittsburgh Paper.
“Suddenly Clayton yelled to me, ‘Cecil’s eating $4,000!!!!!’ I thought, ‘I cannot be hearing that.’ I almost had a heart attack.”
The couple found chewed-up bills scattered throughout their home. Luckily, they were able to recover about $1,500, which was less than half of what they took out of their account.
The Laws reached out to a veterinarian to see if Cecil should be checked out after eating the stack of cash, but were told their dog would be ok. Still, they wanted to get some of their money back.
Carrie said she then contacted the bank, and was told by a manager that there had been similar incidents in the past, and that they would take back taped-together bills with visible serial numbers, the Business Insider reported.
Cecil later threw up some of the ingested money, which the couple started to piece together. As well as some that was pooped out.
The family shared a video on social media of Clayton Law collecting poop from the garden, before washing it out in a sink.
“There we are at the utility sink, washing this shitty money, yelling ‘Yay! Yes! We got one!’ It smelled so bad,” she said.
“I never thought I’d be able to say I’ve laundered money, but there is apparently, a first time for everything,” Carrie added.
The couple then took the time to put the money back together.
The Post reported that, luckily the couple salvaged nearly $3,550 and will make artwork out of the other remaining pieces of cash that couldn’t be saved.
