“The dog ate my…income tax refund check”

“It looked like a shark bite right out of the dollar amount,” Jeff Vogelgesang, a truck driver from Ohio, said.

But it was actually his rambunctious Doberman Nevaeh who got the puppy munchies and ate the $4,100 income tax refund check.

His next step was to report it to the IRS where they had trouble believing him. But after the laughing stopped, they agreed to issue a new check.

Oh no!! I hope that he is able to prove it to them and get a new check! It is funny, but missing out on that money sure wouldn't be funny at all.

My basenji once ate my paycheck. The boss thought it was so funny he wrote a new one and added money for dog food.

That's one intense-looking dog. If he looked at me like that, I'd HAND him over my tax refund check. And anything else he might want too.

How devastating! I would die if my puppers ate that kind of cash! Puts a new spin on "money laundering" lol

The bulldog my Bean had liked to eat paper. He got into the dictionary once and ate most of the A's and was working towards the B's. I'm not sure it helped his vocabulary any though.
