What unusual event happened when the Law family tried to pay for their fence installation?
Clayton Law withdrew $4,000 in cash from the bank, but their dog Cecil, a 100-pound golden doodle, shredded and ate the money, leaving wet pieces all over the floor.
How did the Law family recover the money after Cecil ate it?
They followed Cecil around for a couple of days, collecting partially digested bills from his vomit and feces. They washed the bills, taped them together, and exchanged them at the bank, recovering around $3,500.
Why did the dog eat the money?
The bank told the Laws that dogs often eat money because it picks up food smells from passing through restaurants, making it seem valuable and edible to the dog.
