Woman Scoops the Poop Jackpot
March 22nd, 2009
It’s being reported that Augie, a Swiss Mountain dog from North Carolina, doesn’t get out of his basket for less than $400.
The plush pooch mistook his belly for a bank and deposited a large stash of cash in it Thursday afternoon - dispensing with the formality of official deposit slips, sort codes and signatures in favor of the less traditional method of teeth, saliva and intestines. His owner, Kelley Davis, is yet to receive her monthly statement from the Bank of Augie but it is fully expected to be “Woof.”
Davis told us: “I did try my ATM card in Augie but he just chewed it up before I had a chance to enter my PIN. It was frustrating because Augie doesn’t have any counter service to speak of and besides, the only words he understands are “walkies,” “sit” and “Augie.”
However all was not lost as the Bank of Augie does in fact open three times a day and Kelley was able to scrape pieces of her savings from the sidewalk as the possessive pup gave up the loot at his own pace. One quick squirt of a hose later and the fragments were clean enough to exchange for non-digested replacements.
“I feel incredibly lucky,” the physical therapist told us, “that Augie didn’t go into liquidation before I got my money back.”
Quite. That could have been a very messy business indeed.
