$700 Worth of Dog Poop

I honestly wish I could make stuff up that was this cool. An elderly woman was dogsitting for her granddaughter, and her friend left her purse unattended... the first hundred bucks were easily found, chewed up and strewn about the house. The other $700, though, was a different story:

When the two women woke up, the dog had dug into the purse, and devoured more than $800 cash.

Some pieces were spread around the house — and some were left in the backyard, after Peppy swallowed the money and did her business.

"Pretty soon (I) came to a pile, that had a fifty dollar bill hanging out, part of a fifty, and I said 'gosh, look at that,'" Hulleman laughed. "There were lots of piles with money hanging out there, so I had to save it, rinse it, strain it."

The dog owner taped together the remnants she recovered, and swapped the mangled bills for more than $700 bucks worth of fresh currency at a local bank.

Hulleman is hanging on to half a one hundred dollar bill, in hopes she will recover the other portion. She is less optimistic that Pepper Ann will turn over a new leaf.

"She goes from room to room, looking to get into trouble."
