You read that right. Dogs have been known for eating all kinds of things. From homework to errant french fries left on the sidewalk, even the contents of a cat box; we may never know what drives some dogs to dive towards the strangest of objects. But what if your dog eats your money? Well such a thing happened to Montana resident Wayne Klinkel and his wife last Christmas. Wayne packed up the old family truckster for a holiday road trip when his golden retriever, Sundance got his curious nose into Wayne's traveling cash.
$500 dollars to be exact. Good ol' Sundance chewed up the currency and swallowed it down in what most people would agree is the most expensive doggie meal ever. Lucky for Wayne, paper doesn't digest and so he and his wife spent their vacation doing what any responsible dog owner would do. Picked up their pet's droppings. Very carefully I may add, as they delicately extracted the pieces of their battered Benjamins from Sundance's poop. Wayne was able to recover most of the feast upon funds and sent the masticated money to the Treasury Department, along with a delicate letter explaining what had happened.
So keep this lesson in mind the next time your pooch decides to gobble your greenbacks. Your money isn't lost, it just needs to be replaced. That is if you really want to go through the retrieval process first. That's entirely your call and probably dependent upon how much was eaten.
