Dog typo on police rug went unnoticed for months

New rugs were placed a few months ago inside the new $81 million building that houses the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.



Emblazoned with the sheriff's star, along with a drawing of the state of Florida, they adorned the front lobby until a deputy noticed something wrong on Tuesday.



One of the two rugs read:"In Dog We Trust." They were removed on Wednesday. The proofs the agency signed and submitted to the manufacturer, American Floor Mats, had the correct spelling.

The Sheriff's Office is working to replace the rug, which cost $500. It was unclear what the fate of the misspelled rug will be.

I live in Pinellas County, and the Sheriff has a sense of humor. The vendor is going to replace the rug in question, which is now being auctioned off with the proceeds given to a local animal shelter. http://www.onlineauction.com/auction/2076173

I'd sooner trust a dog that most people's gods.
