Dog Eats $750, Family Digs Through Poop

Friday, July 20, 2007

MENOMONIE, Wis. — Debbie Hulleman's dog Pepper has been known to gnaw on lipstick, munch on shampoo bottles and chew on toothpaste. But Pepper got Hulleman into a real mess after gobbling nearly $750.

"This is probably the worst," Hulleman said Thursday, recalling how she poked through vomit and dog piles left in the yard to recover the cash.

Hulleman had asked her mother in Oakdale, Minn., to take care of Pepper and Zach, the family's other dog last month while she and husband went on vacation.

Pepper, an 8-year-old black Labrador-German shorthair, got into a purse belonging to her mother's friend and chewed the cash from an envelope.

Hulleman's mother recovered some of the money that Pepper spit out, thinking she had it all. But when Hulleman returned from the trip and went to clean up her dogs' mess outside, she noticed a $50 bill hanging from one pile.

About 20 years ago we had a dog do this, but it was only about a total $100 in several bills. We did the poop thing too. None of the bills were salvageable. $100 was a lot of money to us at the time. I never threw away the mangled remains and still have them somewhere.... of the bills, not the dog....

After reading the firs sentence, I knew it had to be a lab. They are NUTS when it comes to chewing stuff up. Great dogs, but wicked chewers.

Our beloved dog "Buddy" ate the following:

My retirement papers, a set of hearing aids, a towel, the cardboard roll for toliet paper (countless times), two bibles and many, many paper products.

Yes, he's well fed and yes, we still have him.

Are you just ignorant, or trying to be macho in front of a room full of anonymous people?

One of our dogs didn’t eat all the money, she ate some and shredded the rest.
