This is the best summary I could come up with:

Clayton Law put an envelope with a wad of cash on his kitchen counter in early December.

He and his wife, Carrie, needed the cash to pay for a project at their home in Pittsburgh's Point Breeze neighborhood.

We could leave dinner and go to the kitchen and grab wine, and he would not touch the food, and he just doesn't care.

Clayton and Carrie Law checked with their vet and the 100-pound dog was OK, but they were in a tough spot because they believed he swallowed at least $2,000.

The couple said they posted a video on social media sharing the story of Cecil's expensive taste, and it got thousands of likes and comments.

"At one point, he was sitting on the couch, we were laughing, thinking there is potentially $2,000 inside of this dog," said Carrie Law.
