This must be the adult equivalent of "the dog ate my homework." Tuity, a naughty Labrador Retriever, Chow, Bulldog mix, helped herself to a stack of $100 bills left on a counter in an envelope. The money was intended for a car payment. "She ate the bill, the envelope... everything," recalls Christy Lawrenson. Her hubby found a few pieces around the house before she came home for a lunch break.

I saw one $100 dollar bill almost ripped in half on the floor. I found like three or four pieces around the house. I thought somebody broke in originally. [Joe Lawrenson]

Joe Lawrenson induced vomiting with hydrogen peroxide. Christy Lawrenson routed through the resulting vomit and collected shredded bills in a bag. With the help of Joe's mother and friend, the Lawrenson's were able to piece most of the bills back together again and received a fresh $800 from the bank. They sent the rest to the U.S. Treasury with a note and photo evidence in hopes of recovering the rest.

Tuity apparently likes to eat cigarettes as well. But then again, maybe she is trying to tell her humans something!

Two paws up to the St. Augustine Record for the scoop. Go fetch for a photo of the aftermath.

So you may be wondering: How much of a bill will a bank accept for a replacement? Check out the video below. Perhaps I'll try sniffing out a dollar or two myself.
