Some dogs like peanut butter, others treats, but one dog in Pittsburgh has even more expensive tastes as he ate dozens of $50 and $100 bills, totaling $4,000.
The dog, a 7-year-old goldendoodle named Cecil, had himself a little treat last month, chowing down on the money left by his owners for their contractor, according to CBS News.
Cecil’s owners, Clayton and Carrie Law, shared with the media outlet that they had left the cash in an envelope on their kitchen counter in early December.
About 30 minutes after putting the money on the counter, Cecil had decided to enjoy his pricey dinner.
“I walked back into the room, and then, all this cash was on the ground. He’s just like this, standing there, and I’m just like, oh my gosh. He ate some of this money and was in shock. I yelled to Carrie, ‘He ate the money, he ate $4,000!’” Clayton Law said.
The couple was shocked to see that Cecil had dined and torn up the bills, being he is usually laid back. Even weirder about his meal, Carrie Law said he had never grabbed anything from the counter before.
“We could leave dinner and go to the kitchen and grab wine, and he would not touch the food, and he just doesn’t care. He just took this opportunity and ran with it,” Carrie Law said.
The dog was taken to their vet after he consumed the cheddar to make sure he was fine. He was given the all-clear.
Luckily, they were able to recover some of the money he chewed up, and after washing it, they brought it to the back and ended up getting all but $500 of the money back, CBS News reported.
