MY DOG TRIED TO TEAR THROUGH THE $20 COUCH I GOT AT A GARAGE SALE — WHEN I CUT IT OPEN, I GASPED AS I LOOKED UNDER THE COVER.
A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to get a cheap couch for my garage, which I’ve been converting into a cozy little guest room. Nothing fancy, just something functional.
One day, I was driving around town and spotted a garage sale. Perfect timing, right? There was this older couch for sale, and it was just $20. The family was selling off furniture from their grandma’s house after she passed away. I thought, “What a steal,” so I loaded it up and took it home.
When I got it into my garage, my dog immediately went nuts. He was barking, jumping on it, and pawing at one specific spot like his life depended on it. At first, I thought he was just being weird (he’s a dog, after all). But then I remembered all those stories about people finding hidden money in furniture. Honestly, I never thought it could happen to me, but curiosity got the best of me.

I grabbed a knife and carefully cut open the spot my dog was obsessed with. And when I peeked inside, I legit gasped. At first, I was riding this wave of excitement, like, “IS THIS REAL LIFE?” But then I had a wild idea.⬇️
