A pair in Pennsylvania have introduced a complete new that means to the phrase “my canine ate my homework” after their pooch, Cecil, devoured $4,000 (£3,148) in money.
The seven-year-old goldendoodle began to chow down the pile of $100 and $50 notes after his homeowners, Clayton and Carrie Legislation, withdrew the money to reportedly pay gardeners.
Having left the cash on the kitchen counter, Mr Legislation shouted for his spouse after it was nabbed by Cecil, who they mentioned had “by no means actually executed something unhealthy earlier than”.
“He was shouting, ‘Cecil ate $4,000!'” Mrs Legislation instructed the Pittsburgh Metropolis Paper.
“I ran in, considering I needed to have heard him fallacious, however once I noticed the mess, there was little question,” she mentioned.
“I assumed I used to be going to have a coronary heart assault. Cecil had actually executed it.”
The couple then documented the painstaking technique of attempting to salvage as a lot of the cash as they might, from bits Cecil had both thrown up or had reappeared after being handed by means of him naturally.
Posting on Instagram on 14 December, Mrs Legislation mentioned they’d managed to tape collectively $3,550 (£2,700) of the money up to now.

“There we’re on the utility sink washing this s***** cash, yelling ‘Yay! Sure! We received one!’ It smelled so unhealthy,” Mrs Legislation instructed the native paper.
Happily, the couple had been instructed by the financial institution that so long as the serial quantity on the notes was seen, it will take again the chewed cash.
“I by no means thought I might be capable of say I’ve laundered cash, however there may be apparently a primary time for every thing,” Mrs Legislation instructed The Washington Put up.
