A Pennsylvania couple’s dog recently gobbled up $4,000 in cash.

A sealed envelope full of $50 and $100 bills had only been sitting on the kitchen counter for 30 minutes when husband Clayton discovered tiny, shredded pieces of bills strewn across the floor.

“He was shouting, ‘Cecil ate $4,000!’”

The couple was dumbfounded — the 7-year-old Goldendoodle was generally a well-behaved pup that had never gone after anything on the counter, including food.

While Cecil slept off his $4,000 meal, the couple raced to call their vet, who luckily said the 100-pound pooch would more than likely pass the cash without incident.

That’s when the couple decided to salvage what they could — they had pulled the money from their joint savings account to install a fence at their Pittsburgh home, where they are raising their 2-year-old son Rory.

The bank explained they would take the bills back that had been taped together with the full serial numbers visible on the front and back. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing also requires that at least 50% of each note is identifiable.

Fortunately, Carrie and Clayton scraped together about $1,500 from the torn bills that Cecil left on the floor.

Cecil coughed up $250 that night, but the rest required Clayton to don a mask and gloves and follow his canine into the backyard to relieve himself.

After collecting the dog’s deposits, Clayton and Carrie sifted through the waste to recover, wash and piece together dozens of other shredded bits of their fortune.

After two more days, they retrieved about $1,800, boosting their total to $3,550.

As for the rest, Carrie says she plans to use the scraps to make the “most expensive piece of art” to serve as a reminder of the disgusting story.
