This Labradoodle ate $4K in cold, hard cash. Most of it came back out

'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 And the money was $4,000 US in crisp $50 and $100 bills, withdrawn earlier that day and set aside on the counter to pay for a landscaping project.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."

I don’t believe 1/2 of a $100 bill counts

I don’t pay for my landscaping projects with that kinda cash. Maybe I would a hundred bucks or so here or there, but 4K? That would be in a check form. Why pay with cash? Something doesn’t smell right to me.

It’s called “laundering”, but even Tide will not help clean the final product.

Tax evasion. Lots of contractors do this. Project will cost X if paid in cash, X+Y if by check or any other traceable means.

This is one stupid dude for advertising that he was going to pay cash to the landscaper.

Both will get a visit very soon from the IRS.

Dogs will eat almost anything. Dogs are one of the few animals that will eat its own feces. Yes it ate the money on purpose.

My thoughts as well

Probably not the smartest thing they ever done in this mess is to talk to the press about paying for the landscaping with cash.

They could be hearing from the tax men (local, state and federal)

Tax man is going to get his cut.

If at least half of a bill is presented, the government will replace it
