The incident happened earlier this month when Horne had gone to work. After she returned home, she was informed about the currency notes by her partner. She thought that he was playing a prank until she saw herself saw the ripped notes by the side of her bed. According to media reports, Peggy, who likes chewing and nibbling things, ate around 100 pounds, that is equal to Rs 9,800.

'I thought it was a prank' 

Speaking to the international media outlet, Horne explained that her pet Peggy wanted to “chew everything and anything” that hit the floor. Describing her experience, she said that after she returned back home, she saw only one single note of 20 pounds lying at her bedside.

"I actually thought it was my boyfriend playing a joke on me as he kept laughing," she added. However, it all became crystal clear after she saw Peggy falling sick and puking out the residue of her currency notes.  Explaining that it did not look funny at that time, she added that now there wasn’t any hope of getting the serial numbers of the cash. She also posted the whole incident along with the photographs of the torn currency notes on Facebook.
