Profesional pooper scooper finds $58 in dog poo

A professional pooper scooper says he recently found ripped banknotes worth $58 (£40) in the dog mess he was clearing.

Steve Wilson had been picking up poo in St. Louis when he noticed one particular mess contained something odd.

On closer inspection, Steve, who works for 'DoodyCalls Pet Waste Removal' realised it was a number of banknotes - presumably having previously been swallowed by the pooing pooch.

He then proceeded to pick the notes - which totalled $58 - out of the mess and sanitise them, before returning them to the dog's confused owner.

As many of the notes were ripped (but still had an intact serial number) they will now be paid into a bank… so they can be taken out as another deposit.
