The dog “Cecil” from Pennsylvania apparently has extremely expensive tastes. When his owners left him out of sight for only a short time, he attacked an envelope containing 4,000 dollars (about 3,700 euros) in cash. The dog parents were finally able to piece most of the bills back together from the scraps they picked up from feces and vomit.
Clayton and Carrie Law had left the envelope of money on the counter; they would later use these to pay a contractor who was installing a fence for them. They left the envelope out of sight for only half an hour – when they returned, they found that “Cecil” had found it and had happily eaten or torn up the contents.
“All of a sudden, Clayton yelled at me, ‘The dog is eating $4,000!’” Carrie described the incident in an interview with the Pittsburgh City Paper. She almost had a heart attack.
“Cecil” is quite picky when it comes to food
The dog is quite picky when it comes to its food. “You could leave a steak on the table and he wouldn’t touch it because he’s not really hungry for food,” Carrie said. “But apparently he’s greedy for money.”
After the expensive treat, the four-legged friend treated himself to a digestive nap on the couch. Meanwhile, the family called the vet to ask if the meal could have any health consequences for ‘Cecil’. However, watching the dog at home was enough.
Disgusting puzzle: “It smelled so bad”
Then the law’s tricky puzzle began: they painstakingly pieced together the remains of the money “Cecil” had thrown away. To do this, they first cleaned the chips thoroughly in the sink. “It smelled so bad,” Carrie revealed. They paid special attention to the serial number of the banknotes so that they would be accepted by the bank.
Only 450 euros were lost
The bank eventually exchanged most of the reconstituted notes for new notes. Only €450 was lost as a result of the incident. But dog owners also know what to do with leftovers that are no longer accepted by the credit institution. In a video they shared on social media, they explained that “the remaining remains will be our most expensive work of art.”
