NC woman hopes to cash in after dog's deposit
APEX, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina family's dog didn't eat the children's homework, he ate mom's money. Kelley Davis said she had an extra $400 in cash to deposit after working extra hours as a physical therapist. She told the News & Observer of Raleigh that on Friday she planned to deposit the money, but it wasn't in her pocket.
She remembered leaving it in the bedroom and it occurred to her that the family's 2-year-old greater Swiss mountain dog, Augie, might have eaten it.
Davis, 42, said when she took Augie for a walk Saturday, she found parts of three $100 bills and five $20s in his leavings. She washed them with a garden hose and hopes to find enough pieces to exchange them for cash.
A professor at the North Carolina State University Veterinary School said the money shouldn't hurt the dog.
I was torn between the headline I used or:
"Canine Craps Cash"
Gives a whole new meaning to "money laundering", doesn't it?

Oh you know that happened to my friends mom ( Betty ) , her and another friend were going to go on holiday and had to pay the travel agent a deposit, so Bettys friend had called past the house to give Betty her share of the money, well at that time Betty was out at the shops and the woman decided to drop the money throught the letter Box (which in UK is usually on the door itself ) and delivers any post on to the floor of the house inside, Bettys pooch was obviously feeling hungry or just playful whatewver and he devoured the whole lot leaving hardly any fragments at all , dont think she ever mentioned checking the dogs next poop so guess she just lost a few hundred dollars , must be something about the smell of money that dogs like , will always be aware if I ever take another dog as a pet .
This lady was on one of the early morning talk shows yesterday.
The people in the studio were "tittering" and the camera wasn't focusing on the dog at all until just a brief shot and then the behind-the-scenes laughter was evident: the dog was quite visibly "aroused".
Funny story, Alison, thanks for posting!
