In the United States, a dog devoured $4,000 in cash that its owners had just withdrawn. Clayton and Carrie Law managed to recover part of the loot by combing through the animal's feces.

In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Cecil, a seven-year-old goldendoodle, allegedly devoured $4,000 in cash that his owners, Clayton and Carrie Law, had just withdrawn. about thirty minutes previously and which were to be used to finance a project in their house.

Wait to collect the animal's stool

Placed on the kitchen counter, Cecil left behind only a few pieces of all the torn money, reports BFMTV. "I'was shocked. I shouted to Carrie: 'he ate the money, he ate 4,000 dollars'", says his master,&nbsp ;Clayton Law, at USA Today. “It'was so out of character. He doesn't usually even touch the food on a coffee table.

The couple first contacted a veterinarian to make sure the animal was healthy. They then thought about how to recover this large sum, starting by collecting pieces of notes scattered on the ground. For the rest, the only solution was to wait until they were recovered from the animal's vomit and stools.

$3,500 recovered

"At one point he was sitting on the couch, we were laughing thinking there was potentially 2,000 dollars inside this dog&quot ;, indicates Carrie, the dog's owner, to CBS.

Thanks to the serial numbers written on the pieces of carefully washed bills, Clayton and Carrie Law managed over the days to put together $3,500. Only $500 was not found. A lesser evil for this couple.
