Default Fido Gobbles up $400 and Owner hopes to Cash in after Dog's Deposit
EWWWW!! wonder if they would still accept it!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/odd_cash_...w6kxkFFDjtiBIF

APEX, N.C. – A North Carolina family's dog didn't eat the children's homework, he ate mom's money. Kelley Davis said she had an extra $400 in cash to deposit after working extra hours as a physical therapist. She told the News & Observer of Raleigh that on Friday she planned to deposit the money, but it wasn't in her pocket.
She remembered leaving it in the bedroom and it occurred to her that the family's 2-year-old greater Swiss mountain dog, Augie, might have eaten it.
Davis, 42, said when she took Augie for a walk Saturday, she found parts of three $100 bills and five $20s in his leavings. She washed them with a garden hose and hopes to find enough pieces to exchange them for cash.
A professor at the North Carolina State University Veterinary School said the money shouldn't hurt the dog.

Oh yuck, I don't like her changes of getting her money....there is no way I would go through my dog poop looking for chewed, digested money - diamond ring maybe but not recycled money.

yuk! if you have a pet that you know likes to eat paper seems you'd keep cash out of reach.

My golden retriever ate a wad of my cash (tips from bartending) many years ago. It came out the next day or so, all rolled up exactly how it went in. Soaked it in some bleach and took it to the bank. That's why you never EVER put money in your mouth.

It's gross, but I don't blame her for trying to recover the money. I can't imagine working extra hours only to have the money eaten by my dog.

Pets aren't the only creatures that 'do stupid things like this'.

LOL I hope that bank teller isn't easily disgusted, they have to accept her money if she has more that 51% of each bill. No matter what condition it's in :P

eww... if that happened to me, i'd consider that money gone. i realize $400 is not a small amount, but still...

i'm just wondering why she didn't keep the money hidden and out of reach?
