A rug has been removed from a sheriff's office in Florida after it was noticed that it read "in dog we trust" instead of "in God we trust".
The $500 (£329) mat lay at the entrance to the office in Pinellas County for two months before someone noticed, a spokeswoman said.
The error was made by the rug's manufacturer and it is being replaced.
Pinellas Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said they were looking at auctioning it for charity, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
There have been several offers to buy the misprinted rug .
"I'd buy or donate to a charity to get one," wrote one user on the office's Facebook page.
"I'm a great dog person and really find that a rug like that would be wonderful for my dogs to have for beds," wrote another.

Accident my eye! I would bet that some special person at the company they ordered from made sure that there was an accidental error in the order.

If it had said “In God We Trust” it would have gotten pulled a lot sooner.

I'm inclined to agree.

Did you hear the one about the dyslexic, agnostic insomniac?
He would lay awake at night wondering if there really was a dog.

Besides the mistake, the text is smaller and fuzzy looking so it obviously wasn’t as noticeable. I made some small ‘needle punch’ rugs, long ago, and small detail is hard to do.
