Montana man whose 12-year-old golden retriever ate five $100 bills

Sundance the dog goes viral

Klinkel and his wife traveled to Denver last Christmas to visit their daughter, and when they stopped for dinner they left Sundance in the car, along with five $100 bills and one $1 bill. When they returned, the $1 bill was untouched and the $500 was gone.

Klinkel immediately guessed that his chew-loving dog ate the bills, so while in Denver he donned rubber gloves and followed Sundance around the yard as he conducted his “business.” Klinkel retrieved quite a few fragments, but it wasn’t until his daughter visited Helena recently that she was able to give him enough remnants for him to piece together a large portion of all five bills.

He washed and bleached them, taped them back together and submitted them to the Federal Treasury, hoping to be reimbursed.

Here is one of the bills he, um, retrieved:

Totally agree lol...

If he knew that she was chew-happy then I would never have left that money where her mouth could have gotten to it lol

Haha. But I guess our dogs figuratively eat that much money, so why not go literal?

What an irresponsible thing to do, leaving a lot of cash in a car where the dog can get it. I mean, was it in plain sight? Might a thief break the window and steal the money? And what happens to the dog?

I mean, if it was a GSD, most thieves wouldn't break a window to get to the cash. It's in the bank. But not everyone is afraid of Golden Retrievers.

That's an expensive lesson, whether the treasury gives him money for them and destroys them or not.
