| Running from any accusation of eating money Time:Dog Eats $1000 in Cash, Only Returns $9004 |
Dogs are notoriously indiscriminate eaters and have been to chow down entire pizzas and blocks of cheese.
(COMMENT: when we lived in Mill Valley, CA, our next door neighbor’s dog, a big #Labrador, rushed through the open front door of our home, ate nearly 2 pounds of cheese warming for expected company in less than 30 seconds, almost immediately barfed it up, and then seemed determined to visit our home again, probably figuring that the same treats would always be there.)
… one Florida pooch sure knows how to tear through her owners’ cash. By literally eating their money.
Tuity, a four-year-old chow/Labrador mix, chowed down on $1,000 left on a countertop. Her owners had left the ten $100 bills in an envelope, ready to head to the bank. But the money found its way into Tuity’s stomach. When St. Augustine resident Christy Lawrenson returned home, she found shreddings of the bills around the house, and a guilty dog sitting nearby.
“She ate the bill, the envelope … everything,” Lawrenson told the St. Augustine Record. After inducing the dog to cough up the cash, the Lawrensons were able to piece together the bills, to the tune of $900.
(COMMENT: Tuity thus became part of the 99%.
Their bank replaced the nine bills for crisp ones, but one of the Benjamins was beyond repair. That’s because Tuity ate too many serial numbers to make it valid. The Lawrensons sent the tattered bill to the Department of Treasury with an explanation in hopes that the government will replace it.
(COMMENT: Probably not. After all, we ARE in debt.)
