Dog's Deposits Doo Double Doody

Kelley Davis of Raleigh, North Carolina couldn't find $400 cash she had set on her bedroom bureau. Augie, the family's 2-year-old greater Swiss mountain dog, had eaten it all.

The cash shouldn't endanger Augie, said Dr. Steve Marks, an associate professor at North Carolina State University Veterinary School.

A day later, Davis took Augie for a long walk. Augie did not disappoint. Davis saw in his leavings pieces of three $100 bills and five twenties. She took up a garden hose. "Kids, get the colander," she said, remembering the moment. "I'm out there panning for gold."

Davis now has the remnants of $160 and she is hoping the government will exchange them. Federal regulations say mutilated currency can be replaced if more than 50 percent of a bill is identifiable or if "the method of mutilation and supporting evidence demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Treasury" that the rest of the bill has been destroyed.

"Who knows if there's more coming or not," Davis said. "We're anxiously awaiting."
