Clayton and Carrie Law, from Pennsylvania withdrew the money and placed it on their counter, when Cecil – their seven-year-old goldendoodle – decided to eat the notes.

The couple then reached out to Cecil;s vet to see if the dog needed medical treatment. The vet reassured them that he needed to be monitored at home.

Afterwards, Clayton and Carrie Law began trying to piece together the remaining cash that the dog has not chewed and the ones he had already eaten, the Guardian reports.

The couple’s bank told them that money accidents involving dogs happen frequently. As long as the serial number on the bills were visible, the bank would take back the chewed money.

After sifting through the retrieved money, the couple managed to tape together nearly all of the money that had been eaten – losing only $450 (around £355) in total.
