Auction of "In Dog We Trust" rug nets over $9K for rescue
Squee here(Story also posted by pokerfan over in Religion.)
From the article:
Jane Sidwell is the founder of Canine Estates Inc. She figured her shelter would net a few hundred bucks from the sale.
"I knew that the sheriff's office paid $500 for it," she told CNN affiliate Bay News 9 . "So I thought well, that's great. We'll get $500. But we had no idea it would escalate into what it has."
Eighty three bids later, the rug was sold -- for a whopping $9,650!
