Wayne Klinkel was on a road trip with his wife to see his daughter when disaster struck in the form of their hungry dog. But, we don’t know what’s more entertaining:
The fact that their dog ate all of their money… or what Wayne did to get the money back.
- Sundance decided that $500 was a tasty snack for him, so he ate all of the $100 bills in her owner’s backseat.
- The Klinkels were on a road trip to visit their daughter. They stopped to grab foot and then their dog took that opportunity to eat their cash.
- Instead of giving up on the money, Wayne patiently waited for Sundance to pass all of the bills… and then he painstakingly reassembled them.
- He went to the bank and, after telling the story and getting some advice (and laughter), he sent the mutilated currency to the Treasury Department’s Bureau of Engraving and Printing, with a letter explaining how the money came to be destroyed. They were happy to cut him a check.
Thankfully the US Government was a good sport. We have a feeling the “dog ate my money” excuse is pretty common.
