'He didn't do this on purpose,' says Pennsylvania pooch's owner
Carrie Law was working from home last month when she heard her husband shouting in a panic: "Cecil ate the money!"
Cecil is the Pittsburgh couple's beloved pet Labradoodle. And the money was $4,000 US in crisp $50 and $100 bills, withdrawn earlier that day and set aside on the counter to pay for a landscaping project.
Now the couple is withdrawing the cash again — but not from the bank.
"My husband, who I joke is like the true hero of this story, followed Cecil around the yard and was picking up anything that Cecil was dropping off, and we'd kind of knock off the solids and start washing it all," Law told As It Happens guest host Megan Williams.
"We have been joking a lot about money laundering in the house."

BANK WILL REPLACE DAMAGED BILLS-—BUT they will tell this story for YEARS——
Cecil either has expensive tastes in dog food, or maybe he just needs more green in his diet.
Cute and clever. I like that photo!
I guess he’s done player Poker with those other dogs on the velvet tapestries.
Talk about “Cash Crap”... err that’s cash crop, OK ever mind
My dog is a Democrat.
“But you guys always call it lettuce! And you guys eat lettuce all the time!”
Sure.
They are as popular as could be. I rode in a July 4th parade 2-1/2 years ago, and I swear they were 20% of the dogs along the parade route. And everyone brings their dogs to the parade!
Landscaping project. Illegal aliens. Cash discount.
Who leaves $4,000 in cash laying around on the counter?
Additionally, it’s likely not the first time the dog ate something.
They're Dy-no-vite for Dogs.
Don’t doodle when you can poodle. Only about 10% don’t shed.I only have poodles.
3/5th of a bill is worth 100% of face value. 1/2 of a bill is worth 50% of face value. Anything less than that is worth nothing.
51% of a bill is all you need to cash it at a bank. eeif it has been “dog laundred”.
First dog owner ever excited to pick up after their dog.
If there’s already been a post about “dirty money,” I hope y’all will forgive me...
Both will get a visit very soon from the IRS.
Why? It was their money. Didn’t buy them anything, and is more disgusting now.
Unless you meant the general definition of excited, not the specific positive version…
Stupid mutts.
My daughter has a Labradoodle who is smart. When her husband died, Labradoodle slept with Katy, cuddled up to her when she cried. But on walks, she’s the only one of the four dogs that has to be on a leash or she’ll race away.
Food is good at their house, fresh-cooked chicken in in gravy poured over their crunches. I doubt cash would interest them.
