A Pennsylvania dog brought havoc to his owners when he nabbed $4,000 off the kitchen counter and proceeded to eat it.
Cecil, a seven-year-old goldendoodle from Pittsburgh, ate his owners’ hard earned savings just half an hour after they had withdrawn the money from the bank.
‘This dog, I swear to God, has never touched anything in his life,’ Carrie Law, 33, told the Pittsburgh City Paper.
Carrie and Clayton Law were left with the undignified job of sifting through Cecil’s excrement and vomit to salvage whatever scraps they could.
The couple then spent hours attempting to find serial numbers on the notes, in order to return the money to the bank for new bills. Luckily, they were able to save all but $450 from the dog’s rampage – leaving them just a little ruff for wear.

The pair insist their beloved dog is normally well-behaved.
‘Suddenly Clayton yelled to me, “Cecil’s eating $4,000!” I thought, “I cannot be hearing that.”‘
‘I almost had a heart attack,’ she added.
The couple reached out to Cecil’s vet to check whether he might need to be rushed in.
Fortunately, being a big dog, Cecil only needed to be monitored at home. The couple had to collect and rinse Cecil’s excrement and vomit.

‘There we are at the utility sink,’ Carrie said to the City Paper.
‘[We were] washing this s***** money, yelling “Yay! Yes! We got one!” It smelled so bad.’
Carrie told the New York Post she’d ‘never thought’ she’d be ‘able to say I’ve laundered money, but there is apparently a first time for everything’.
