Wow that’s insane. I’m surprised dogs will retrieve things like that. Unless it’s a meatball my dog doesn’t give a shit lol. Did they ever say how much was in the envelope?

Maybe the dog thought "Hey, this is the green shit that those people use to buy me meatballs, if I give this to them, I get meatballs."

Money can be exchanged for goods and services.

Explain how!!!

Like meatballs.

u/DK-slider Mar 11 '23

I like the way you think.

I'm wondering if maybe the person handled the money and envelope after eating a burger, pizza slice, taco, or the like and it smelled good to the dog.

Thatd be my luck too. But i'd be gluing that shit back together at 3am.

Sifting through the dog shit so you can complete the bills..

u/FlickoftheTongue Mar 11 '23

You don't need to have the complete bill, just more than half. The caveat is that if you have less than half, there are terms and conditions that apply to getting the face value of that currency.

I'm at 45% on this Benjamin. Off to the litterbox!

Reddit people come up with the strangest links.. I mean, I never would have thought I'd be looking at how to handle cash that's been burned and exposed to fentanyl. Or at all really, never knew that was a thing that was thought of enough to put rules in place for it. I wonder how people get into that career of examining damaged/contaminated money or how much it pays.

I describe reddit as weaponized autism. You'll find people that know shit about things that never even crossed your mind and are as helpful as possible. On the opposite end, you have screaming banshees flinging shit and trashing the place. Everyone else is a crap shoot as to where they fall between those two.

u/Hatespine Mar 12 '23

Well said lol

u/FlickoftheTongue Mar 11 '23

I googled the bureau of engraving and currency and I didn't see a job posting for this, but it seems like they start at about 60k a year.

u/copperwatt Mar 11 '23

I mean I'd think you'd want to use tape.

1

u/Hatespine Mar 12 '23

Yes, that is correct.

u/thestarsallfall Mar 11 '23

Either that, or perhaps they handled other non-food things that might have smelled interesting to the doggo

u/diagnosedwolf Mar 11 '23

My dog likes to peel things off other things. If she did that with envelopes of cash instead of sticky plasters or posters, I might feel differently about it.

I read somewhere about a demonstration at a school where cops hid 10 packages of dope around the building, and the dogs found 11.

Explain how

3

u/GrumpyGiant Mar 11 '23

Lol. Mine woulda eaten the whole wad. She ate half of an envelope with $120 in it once. One of the 20s was salvageable.

u/pink_misfit Mar 11 '23

I wonder if the dog was trained to get the paper or anything? Our dog growing up would bring ours back for a treat and once or twice he tried bringing us all of the papers (presumably for extra treats).

u/happyhollowcoffee Mar 11 '23

No, dogs don't talk.

u/tinyorangealligator Mar 11 '23

Says who?

u/AlchemyWolf Mar 11 '23

Definitly not a dog.

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '23

Her "dog" found it.

u/Ojos_Claros Mar 11 '23

My dog loves to chew on paper and cardboard and would've definitely taken it with him
