A couple painstakingly pieced their pension money back together after it was eaten by the family dog.
Mike and June Hopkins' five-year-old dog Macan scoffed the £20 notes before vomiting it up later that day.
But Mr Hopkins, of Sefton Avenue, Aldwick, near Bognor, refused to admit defeat and spent a weekend sticking the six notes back together wearing a pair of rubber gloves and using sterilising solution to clean the money and a pair of tweezers.
Mr Hopkins presented 90% of the notes, worth £120, in tact to Barclays bank in exchange for some new notes.
The couple have vowed to keep their cash out of paws reach in future.
Macan, a Bedlington Terrier-cross, was unharmed.
