Dog eats owner's cash

A dog in Germany has been treated for an expensive case of indigestion after eating a wad of Euro notes.
The dog's owner, a woman from Stockstadt, had withdrawn 450 euros (£300) and left them under a bank statement on the passenger seat of her car.
Later when she returned to her car after shopping, the money was gone and she found her dog had collapsed in a pool of vomit.
Believing someone had broken into the car, poisoned the dog and stolen her money, the woman called police. Officers took the owner and dog to the nearest veterinary surgery.
They quickly realised what had really happened when the dog began coughing up six 50 euro notes.
The rest of the money soon followed, along with the bank balance sheets.
"The dog just kept spitting out pieces of money," said a police spokesman.

What? Why? Didn't that dog have some sort of survival instinct that suggested it not do something stupid like that? I've seen dogs eat lots of things, but they usually stop at some point before it would kill them...

I'm not sure what the weather in Germany is like this time of year, but here in the States it's generally considered irresponsible if not inhumane to leave one's pet in a car. Perhaps the poor pooch was delerious?

Or maybe this portends a bleak future for the euro...

I guess that if it were hot in the car that could be a factor, but it wasn't noted in the article...

Or yeah, perhaps the Euro smells like candy. I never tried sniffing one...

maybe it was really a way of laundering money, and she didn't know the dog would get sick...

Good cover there ma'am...
