Watch: Story of Couple’s Dog Eating $4K in Cash – And Their Retrieval Efforts – Goes Viral

If geese lay golden eggs, what do dogs lay?

Pittsburgh couple Clayton and Carrie Law found out the hard way when their dog, Cecil, ate $4,000 after they set it down on the kitchen table.

“I just walked around the house just doing stuff and came back, and then all of a sudden, I walked in on Cecil just standing over a pile of mutilated cash, essentially,” Clayton Law told NBC News.

Interestingly, Cecil is usually a picky eater.

“I was shocked,” Clayton Law told USA Today. “It was so out of character for him. He wouldn’t eat food off a coffee table. I was just in shock because it was very unlike him.”

What Cecil didn’t eat, he tore up.

The couple eventually called their bank and asked if it would accept damaged money.

The bank was “really nice about it,” Carrie Law said, explaining that each bill had to be 50 percent or more recovered for the bank to exchange the bills, NBC reported.

“They said it actually happens quite a bit because money just picks up so many scents, especially if it’s used in the food industry,” she explained. “I guess dogs pick up on that — they have such a good sense of smell — and something about it just drove him crazy.”

Should the bank accept the damaged deposit?

The bank advised the couple to wait for Cecil to do his business, which he did late that night.

“We were pretty down about the situation when it happened,” Clayton Law told USA Today. “Around 2 a.m. that night, Cecil woke us up because he had to vomit. At that point, I got hope after seeing the $100 bills coming out.”

Over the next few days, Cecil excreted the couple’s money in $50 and $100 bills.

Clayton Law would pick through dog-doo and wash the money, and Carrie Law would sort, match and tape together whatever pieces of the paper she could.

“We invested several hours each day to recover our money,” Carrie Law told USA Today. “We couldn’t recover everything due to the pieces of cash getting smaller by day three.”

By the end of their difficulties, the Laws recovered $3,550 of the $4,000 they had lost and made art with the money they couldn’t salvage, NBC reported.

The couple documented the whole process in an Instagram video that quickly went viral.

“We’re just happy the story’s making people laugh,” Carrie told NBC News. “I think a lot of people can relate to this because we’ve all had a pet or a kid that has done something silly like this in one way or the other, and you just can’t be mad at them. You just have to love them anyway.”


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. National Security Advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is literally the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one, 248 years of American history will have finally come to an end — ended by wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a simple Western Journal membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor

The Western Journal
